Judith Ann Kathleen Howard[3] CBE FRS (née Duckworth; 21 October 1945 in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire) is a distinguished British chemist, crystallographer and Professor of Chemistry at Durham University.[4][5][6]

Early life and education

Judith Howard attended Salisbury Grammar School for girls, and later attended University of Bristol in 1963 to study chemistry.[7]

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.[3]

She graduated from University of Bristol with a Bachelor of Science degree and was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy[8] degree from the University of Oxford where she was a student Somerville College, Oxford and studied the structure of insulin supervised by Dorothy Hodgkin.[7]

Career and research

In 1991 Howard moved to become Professor of Crystallography at Durham University.[7] She has co-authored over 1,500 scientific publications, resulting in a H-index of 73.[9]

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.[4]

Howard has created instruments that allow scientists to help advance and prove theories in the field of X-ray crystallography.[10] She is the chairperson of the Olexsys software for refinement of crystallographic data.[11]

Prolific in her contributions to science, with over 1,500 publications to her name,[10] Judith actively participates in committees and conferences worldwide. She was the first woman to head a five-star chemistry department (at the University of Durham), and served as President of the British Crystallographic Association.[when?]

Awards and honours

She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree at the University of Bristol in 1986.[12] 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.[13] Other awards include:
