We would like to congratulate Trevor Hayton, who has been awarded the 2013-2014 Dalton Lectureship, in recognition of his work on actinides, especially his ground-breaking work on f-element chemistry.
This lectureship, sponsored by Dalton Transactions, aims to enhance communication between the best researchers, and is awarded yearly to an outstanding young investigator in the general field of inorganic chemistry.
Trevor will be presenting his lecture at University of California, Berkeley in early 2014, where he will also be spending time with the faculty, postdocs and students.
Trevor Hayton grew up in Surrey, British Columbia. In 1998, he received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of British Columbia, whereupon he began his Ph.D. research, also at UBC, under the direction of Peter Legzdins. After graduating in 2003, he began a postdoctoral fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory, working under the direction of James M. Boncella. In 2006 he started a faculty position at University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is currently an Associate Professor.
