Judith Ann Kathleen Howard (née Duckworth)[2] CBE FRS (born 21 October 1945 in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire) is a distinguished British chemist, crystallographer and Professor at Durham University.[3]
Early life and education
Judith Howard attended Salisbury Grammar School for girls, and later attended University of Bristol in 1963 to study chemistry.[4]
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.[5]
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.[4]
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.[4]
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.
Howard has created instruments that allow scientists to help advance and prove theories in the field of X-ray crystallography.[8]
