1920 Chair of Physical Chemistry
The 1920 Chair of Physical Chemistry is a prestigious professorship at Cambridge University. For the first six decades of its existence, the incumbent was also Head of the Department of Physical Chemistry - a separate entity from the then Department of Chemistry, albeit latterly occupying the same building. Following the merger of these two departments in the early 1980s, holders of this Chair have often served as Head of the current unified Department of Chemistry.
Occupants of the Chair to date have been:
- Martin Lowry (1920–1936)[1]
- Ronald George Wreyford Norrish (1937–1965)[2]
- Jack Linnett (1965-1975)[3]
- Sir John Meurig Thomas (1978-1987)
- Sir David King (1988–2006)
- John Pyle (2007-)
