}}Timothy Peter Softley {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FRS|FRSC|FInstP}}[3][4] is Pro-vice-chancellor (PVC) for research and knowledge transfer at the University of Birmingham.[5][6][7]

Education

Softley was educated at The Hewett School in Norwich and Wadham College, Oxford.[3] He moved to the University of Southampton to complete a PhD supervised by Alan Carrington in 1984.[4][1]

Career and research

Softley is distinguished for his advances in two areas of Chemical Physics.[4] First, the study of atoms and molecules in highly excited quantum states, known as Rydberg states.[4] He has used his understanding of their properties, gained from laser spectroscopy and theory, to develop new applications including the study of model charge-transfer processes at solid-gas interfaces.[4] Second, he has pioneered unique experiments utilising combinations of novel physical devices for making cold atoms, molecules and ions, for studying the kinetics and dynamics of chemical processes at ultralow temperatures - close to the absolute zero of temperature - where quantum effects determine the reactivity.[4]

Much of his work was conducted in a twenty five year period at Merton College, Oxford , where he served as head of the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford from 2011 to 2015.[4] His former doctoral students include Helen H. Fielding.[2]

Awards and honours

Softley was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2018 for substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge.[4] He is also a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP) and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). He was also awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellow (URF) at the University of Cambridge,{{when|date=January 2019}} held a Harkness Fellowship at Stanford University[4][1] and was awarded the Corday Morgan Medal in 1994.[4]
