DESCRIPTION:Prof. Colin Bain\, Durham University U.K.\n‘Watching paint d
 ry’ is an English metaphor for a tedious and pointless activity.  You m
 ight think the same would be true of ink\, but high speed imaging inside a
  drop from an inkjet printer shows remarkable complexity and unexpected ph
 ysics. Understanding and controlling how inks dry is critical to the evolu
 tion of inkjet printing from high resolution graphics to a manufacturing t
 echnology\, with applications in TV displays\, electronic circuits\, biose
 nsors and 3D manufacturing.\nThis talk will describe some of our recent re
 search on drying of simple solvent mixtures and show how the principles of
  colloid chemistry can be exploited to control the morphology of the dry d
 eposit from an inkjet printer.\nReferences:\n“Control of Particle Distri

 mbridge\, England\, and a PhD in Physical Chemistry at Harvard University 
 under the supervision of Prof. George Whitesides.  He returned to the UK 
 as a Royal Society Research Fellow in Cambridge before moving to Oxford as
  University Lecturer and Fellow of Magdalen College in 1991. He has been a
  Professor of Chemistry at Durham University since 2005. From 2008–12 he
  was the Director (Science) at the Institute of Advanced Study. Since 2015
  he has been Dean for Research at Durham University.\nHis research lies at
  the intersection of physical chemistry with physics\, engineering and bio
 logy. While broadly in the field of ‘wet surface chemistry’\, his inte
 rests range from the break-up of jets to drying of droplets on surfaces\, 
 from phase transitions to adsorption kinetics\, from tertiary oil recovery
  to model cell membranes. Much of his work is collaborative within Durham 
 (Physics\, Chemistry\, Mathematics & Engineering)\, the UK (Oxford\, Cambr
 idge\, Imperial\, Nottingham\, Leeds\, Glasgow) and around the world (USA\
 , India\, Japan).  He collaborates widely with industry in the UK\, Swede
 n and Japan.\nHis research has been recognised by both national and intern
 ational awards\, including the Corday-Morgan Medal (2000)\, Tilden Prize (
 2008)\, Thomas Graham Lecturer (2011)\, Craig Lecturer (ANU\, 2008)\, McBa
 in Lecturer (National Chemical Laboratory\, Pune\, India\, 2005)\, Lecture
 ship Award of the Japanese Chemical Society (2005) and Fellow of the Socie
 ty of Applied Spectroscopy (2014).  He served for 12 years on the Editori
 al Advisory Board of Langmuir and was a founding editor Soft Matter. He ha
 s published around 160 papers with >11\,000 external citations and an h-in
 dex of 42.
