Time: 8:30a.m., March 31st, 2015
Place: Room 105, Shaw Engineering Building, Wushan Campus
Speaker: Dr. Neil Robertson (Reader in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry and Director of Internationalisation, School of Chemistry, the University of Edinburgh)

Brief introduction to Dr. Robertson:
Dr. Neil Robertson is Reader in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry and Director of Internationalisation, School of Chemistry, the University of Edinburgh. He has also been appointed as Associate Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry C since 2014. Dr. Robertson received his Ph.D in 1992 at the University of Edinburgh and then he became Royal Society postdoctoral fellowship in Freie Universitat Berlin in 1992. He moved back to the UK as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Wales in 1993 and in 1996 he was awarded as BP/RSE Research Fellowship in the University of Edinburgh. He started his career as a lectureship at Imperial College, London in 2000 and then was promoted as Senior Lecturer （2005）and Reader （2009）at the University of Edinburgh.
Dr. Robertson has authored more than 132 peer-reviewed publications. He is interested in conducting, magnetic and optical properties of materials in devices such as solar cells and field-effect transitors and his research is focused on the synthesis and characterisation of new electronically-delocalised molecules and the application of these in functional materials. New molecules are based on both transition metal complexes and organic molecules and are characterised by electrochemical, spectroscopic, structural and computational methods.
