Joy Farnaby is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. Her research interests lie in exploratory applied synthetic inorganic chemistry, particularly focusing on lanthanides and actinides. Farnaby's work encompasses the investigation of lanthanide photophysics in molecules and aggregates, as well as the design of light-emitting materials. She contributes to single molecule spectroscopy research concerning lanthanide complexes, often in collaboration with the Hedley Lab. In addition, Farnaby explores reactive and unusual lanthanide coordination complexes, utilizing scorpionate nitrogen-donor hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands. Her studies span multi-metallic molecular systems known for their unique optical and electronic properties, particularly in light and spin electron transfer mechanisms. Furthermore, she addresses actinide chemistry as part of efforts to support future scientific challenges associated with the UK's civil plutonium inventory, collaborating closely with partners in the nuclear industry.
