Early life and education

Judith Howard attended Salisbury Grammar School for girls, and later attended University of Bristol in 1963 to study chemistry.[3]

As a final year undergraduate, Judith worked on the structure of the compound, tin tetra-iron-tetra carbonyl, which was the basis of her very first published work.[4]

She graduated from University of Bristol with a B.Sc. and was offered a three year DPhil at the University of Oxford to study the structure of insulin with Dorothy Hodgkin.[3]

She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree at the University of Bristol in 1986.[6] In 1991 Judith moved to become Professor of Crystallography at Durham University.[3]

In 2005 she received an Honorary Degree from the University of Bath.

According to the Web of Science ResearcherID[7] she has co-authored over 1,100 scientific publications, resulting in a H-index of 73.

Work life

Judith's research is in x-ray crystallography. Her interests include in-situ crystallisation of liquids, ultra-low temperature crystallography, high pressure crystallography, experimental charge density analysis, solid-state reactions the study of non-linear optical materials and magnetically interesting materials.[2]

Howard has created instruments that allow scientists to help advance and prove theories in the field of X-ray crystallography.[8]

Awards

  • 1996 Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)
