Paul Anderson

Paul Anderson is Professor of Strategic Elements and Materials Sustainability in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham, Co-Director of the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials.

The synthesis and development of improved materials for energy applications has been a major theme of his research for over two decades, with particular interests in porous framework materials, ion mobility in hydrogen storage materials and related Li+ and H+ electrolyte systems, and the efficient husbandry of the earth’s elemental resources.

Paul has published 130+ research papers in scientific journals as well as reviews, book chapters and patents in the fields of porous framework materials, nanowires and nanoparticles, and hydrogen storage materials. He has received major research grants from the Royal Society, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the European Union and Innovate UK.
