Leigh F. Jones (LFJ) completed both his MChem and PhD degrees at The University of Manchester, the latter under the guidance of David Collison. He then completed a Royal Society International Fellowship at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia) with Keith Murray, before returning to the UK with Postdoctoral Research positions at the University of Leeds with Malcolm Halcrow (2005–2007) and the University of Edinburgh with Euan Brechin (2007–2008). Academic positions then followed at the University of Galway (2008-2013) and Bangor University (2014-2019), before joining the University of Wolverhampton in 2019. Research interests include coordination chemistry, molecular magnetism and more recently catalysis (using magnetic complexes) and water treatment using porous materials. LFJ is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
