Thomas Charles Buckland McLeish, {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|FRS|FRSC}} (born 1962) is a theoretical physicist whose work is renowned for increasing our understanding of the properties of soft matter. This is matter that can be easily changed by stress – including liquids, foams and biological materials. He was Professor in the Durham University Department of Physics and Director of the Durham Centre for Soft Matter, a multidisciplinary team that works across physics, chemistry, mathematics and engineering.[2][1] He is now the first Chair of Natural Philosophy at the University of York.

Early life and education

McLeish was born on 1 May 1962.[2] He was educated at Sevenoaks School in Kent and Emmanuel College, Cambridge[2] where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1984 and a PhD in 1987 for research on fluid dynamics.[3]

Academic career

McLeish began his academic career as a lecturer in physics at the University of Sheffield (1989 to 1993).[4] He then moved to the University of Leeds, where he was Professor of Polymer Physics between 1993 and 2008.[4] Since 2008, he has been Professor of Physics at the University of Durham.[4] He was additionally Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research between 2008 and 2014.[5] In February 2018, he moved to the University of York to take up the newly created Chair in Natural Philosophy.[6]

Research

Although McLeish's work is mostly theoretical, he also works closely with those performing experiments and in industry.[7][8] He has made significant advances in modelling the structure and properties of complex entangled molecules,[9] blends of substances that don't usually mix (multiphasic liquids like oil and water) see reptation and crazing. This allows us to more easily predict complex fluid behaviour and processing in an industrial setting.[2] Since 2000 he has increasingly worked on biological physics: applying soft matter physics to self-assembly of protein fibrils, protein fluctuation dynamics and its role in allosteric signalling, and statistical mechanics approaches to evolution. {{As of|2015}} he has published around 200 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals.[10][17]

Personal life

In 1984, McLeish married Julie Elizabeth King.[4] Together they have four children: two sons and two daughters.[4]

McLeish's other interests include historical studies of medieval science, and he is a member of the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham.[2] Since 1993 he has been a lay preacher in the Anglican Church, delivering sermons at St Michael le Belfrey, York.[12] In 2014 he published a book on the relationship between religion and science called Faith and Wisdom in Science.[13]

Honours

McLeish was made a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP) in 2003,[2][14][15] and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) in 2008.[4][6] In 2011, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS), the United Kingdom's national academy of the sciences.[16]
