Research interests
Tony D James is a Professor at the University of Bath and Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, who currently holds a prestigious Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. (2017-2022). He has developed a broad interdisciplinary approach to research, with an underpinning focus on the development of modular sensors where he has pioneered a range of reporting regimes.
His research interests include many aspects of Supramolecular chemistry, including:
- molecular recognition
- fluorescent sensor design
- fluorescence imaging
- theranostic systems
- chiral recognition
- saccharide recognition
- anion recognition
- sensors for reactive oxygen species (ROS)
- probes for redox imbalance
He received his BSc from the University of East Anglia (1986), PhD from the University of Victoria (1991), and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Japan with Seiji Shinkai (1991-95). He was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship at the University of Birmingham (1995-2000) before moving to the University of Bath in 2001.
He has been a visiting professor at Tsukuba, Osaka, Kyushu and Sophia Universities, an AMADEus invited professor at the University of Bordeaux and is a guest Professor at East China University of Science and Technology, Xiamen University, Shandong Normal University, Nanjing University, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Changzhou University, Zhejiang University, Qufu Normal University, Ewha Womans University and is a Hai-Tian (Sea-Sky) Scholar at Dalian University of Technology.
He has published over 305 publications, including two books, 9 book chapters and 294 papers in international peer reviewed journals. He is also the named inventor on 25 international patents. He has delivered 240 invited lectures within the UK and internationally. Citation statistics indicate that one of his publications has been cited over 700 times, two over 500, five over 300, seventeen over 200 times, thirty-three over 100, and 82 over 50, with a total of >15.228 citations at a frequency of >50 citations per article. He has an h-index of 64 (October 2019 ORCID 0000-0002-4095-2191).
He received the Daiwa-Adrian Prize for developing scientific networks with Japan in 2013, the inaugural CASE Prize for establishing scientific networks with China in 2015, and the MSMLG Czarnik Award in 2018.
