Professor Edwin Constable IntFRSE
Professor of Chemistry, University of Basel
Ed Constable was born in Edinburgh and began his chemical career at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge before moving to a Chair at the University of Basel. He was a pioneer in metallosupramolecular chemistry and understanding how metal-ligand interactions could be translated into algorithms for the construction of beautiful chemical assemblies.
These ideas underlie his current efforts in developing a sustainable materials chemistry, with a special emphasis upon solar energy and photonic devices. He is a passionate communicator of science and scientific integrity. When not being a chemist, he can be found chasing insects and pursuing his love of macro-photography.
