}}David K. Smith is a professor of chemistry at the University of York in England. His research focuses on nanochemistry and self-assembling nanomaterials.[1] Smith is also well known for his education and public outreach activities, such as his widely viewed YouTube channel dedicated to chemistry education.[2] Smith is openly gay and has been described as "one of the most visible out gay scientists."[3]

Academic career

Smith received his undergraduate degree from the University of Oxford in 1992 and his Ph.D. in 1996 under the supervision of Paul Beer, after which he was a postdoctoral fellow with François Diederich. He began his career as a lecturer at University of York in 1999 and was promoted to professor in 2006.[4]

Research

Smith's research group studies the properties of nanomaterials, particularly self-assembling molecular gels,[1] which may have a variety of practical applications including in biomaterials and in the construction of molecular electronics.[5] He became interested in applications to biomaterials after observing the medical treatments needed by his partner, who suffers from cystic fibrosis,[1][3] and has studied the potential applications of nanogels in drug delivery.[6][7]

Smith was awarded the Bob Hay Lectureship in 2011 and the Corday Morgan Award in 2012 by the Royal Society of Chemistry in recognition of his contributions to the field.[4]

Teaching and outreach

Smith is the Chair of Teaching in the University of York Chemistry Department[4] and is well known for his interest in chemistry education and public outreach about chemistry-related topics.[2] He frequently speaks at public events and to schoolchildren about his personal experience as a scientist. He also maintains a widely followed YouTube channel for chemistry education[2][3] and has published on his experiences using video as an educational tool.[8]

Smith received the Royal Society of Chemistry Higher Education Award in 2005 and was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship in 2013.[9]

In addition to science education work, Smith also writes about diversity in science and about the need for scientist role models from the LGBT community.[10]
