Professor Stuart L. JamesStuart James is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Queen’s University Belfast, having previously studied and worked in UK and European Universities including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Imperial College, Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg) and Utrecht. He founded the field of Porous Liquids by conceptualising them in 2007 and subsequently leading the experimental demonstration of some of the first key examples. He has also pioneered in the field of mechanochemistry, contributing both fundamental and industrially applied work to field, particularly with regard to reaction kinetics, MOF and organic synthesis as well as scale-up through twin screw extrusion techniques. Complimenting his fundamental research he has engaged in commercialisation, in particular by co-founding two spin-out companies MOF Technologies Ltd. and Porous Liquid Technologies Ltd. (PLT). PLT features an expert board of industry and academic leaders and is focused on innovative low-energy chemical separations including carbon capture processes. PLT won the Energy category of the Royal Society Emerging Technologies Competition 2022.
