Professor Richard Nichols

Richard Nichols’ research areas include investigating aspects of conduction in single molecules, single molecule electrochemistry, molecular electronics, nanoscience, scanning probe microscopy, nanoscale electrochemistry, interfacial electrochemistry, metal plating and in-situ spectroscopic methods for studying electrode surfaces. He is an expert in the field of scanning probe microscopy, particularly as applied to in-situ electrochemical measurements and single molecule electronics. He has ~200 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Since 2000 he has been developing techniques for the measurement of molecular electrical properties. He received the 2003 Tajima prize from the International Society of Electrochemistry, he was elected a Fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry in 2008 and he was awarded the Geoffrey Barker Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2016.
