When former University of Sheffield lecturer (and 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner) Sir J. Fraser Stoddart came back to visit our Chemistry department he brought a wealth of experience with him - but he also discovered a few new things from our students...
Sir Fraser joined the University of Sheffield in 1970 as an ICI research fellow, before becoming a Lecturer in Chemistry and later being promoted to Reader. He left the University in 1990 to take up a position at the University of Birmingham before moving to the USA, where he is currently Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
