}}David John Wales (born 1963)[1] FRS[3] FRSC is a professor of Chemical Physics, in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.[4]

Education

Wales was educated at Newport Free Grammar School[1] followed by the University of Cambridge where he was awarded an open scholarship to study at

Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge[5] receiving his BA degree in 1985. He went on to complete a PhD on cluster chemistry, awarded in 1988[6] for research supervised by Anthony J. Stone. In 2004 he was awarded a ScD degree from Cambridge.[3]

Career and research

During 1989, Wales as an English-Speaking Union Lindemann Trust Fellow at the University of Chicago, doing postdoctoral research supervised by R. Stephen Berry. He returned to a research fellowship at Downing College, Cambridge in 1990, was a Lloyd's of London Tercentenary Fellow in 1991, and a Royal Society University Research Fellowship (URF) from 1991 to 1998.[3] He was appointed a Lecturer in Cambridge in 1998.[3]

Wales research investigates energy landscapes, with applications to chemical biology, spectroscopy, clusters, solids and surfaces.[3][7][8][9] Wales is the author of the textbook Energy Landscapes: Applications to Clusters, Biomolecules and Glasses[10][11] and a co-author of Introduction to Cluster Chemistry with Michael Mingos.[12]

His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).[13]

Awards and honours

Wales was awarded the Meldola Medal and Prize in 1992 and the Tilden Prize in 2015,[5] both by the Royal Society of Chemistry. He was a Baker Lecturer at Cornell University in 2005, and the Inaugural Henry Frank Lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh in 2007. Wales was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016[3] and is also an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.{{when|date=May 2016}}
