Professor Stephen Haswell

Stephen Haswell is professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Hull. His current research activities are in the areas of micro reactors including analytical developments, microwave enhanced reaction chemistry, trace elemental speciation and process analysis.
He is the author of over 100 research papers, a number of books and patents and is widely known nationally and internationally for his enthusiastic lectures. His research group, comprising of around 25 research staff, is supported from a research income of approximately £1M per year.
For a number of years one of the underlying principles of Professor Haswell’s research has been to break down the sectorial walls which exist in science, in particular, the integration of analytical science with main line chemistry, physics, engineering and biology.
In 2000 he was awarded the RSC Medal in Analytical Reactions and Analytical Reagents sponsored by Merck LTD for his work in the field of Lab-on-a-chip.
