Biography

Professor Riley joined the Department of Materials at Imperial College London in October 2006, after moving from the Imperial School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol where he ran a successful research group investigating the formation and assembly of nanoparticles on electrode surfaces using a bottom-up approach. His previous appointment as a lecturer in Bristol followed a postdoctoral research associate role with Professor Laurie Peter at the University of Bath, where he investigated the formation and characterization of porous silicon and the preparation of nanoparticle modified electrodes using a top-down approach. Professor Riley earned his MA and DPhil from Oriel College, University of Oxford, with doctoral research supervised by Professor Richard Compton. His research focuses on the preparation, characterization, and application of nanomaterials, utilizing colloid chemistry and anodization templated deposition to obtain materials with defined dimensions. The resultant particles are characterized when deposited on substrates to yield surface coatings with defined architecture. He has also investigated the use of electrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry on electrodes modified using various techniques.
