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, Howard worked on the structure of the compound, tin tetra-iron-tetra carbonyl, which was the basis of her very first published work.[1]

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]

In 1991 Howard moved to become Professor of Crystallography at Durham University.[3]

According to the Web of Science ResearcherID[5] she has co-authored over 1,100 scientific publications, resulting in a H-index of 73.

She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree at the University of Bristol in 1986.[6] In 2005 she received an Honorary Degree from the University of Bath. In 2016 she received an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree from the University of East Anglia.[7]

Work life

Howard'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] She is the chairperson of the Olexsys software for refinement of crystallographic data.[9]

Awards

  • 1996 Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)
  • 1999 Royal Society of Chemistry Prize for Structural Chemistry
  • 2002 Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS)
