Research Interests
Professor Ian Metcalfe is a
Professor of Chemical Engineering at Newcastle
University, having previously been a Professor
of Chemical Engineering in both Manchester and
Edinburgh and a Senior Lecturer at Imperial
College.
Professor Metcalfe's work is primarily in the
area of oxidation kinetics and oxide catalysis.
In particular he is interested in the uses of
ionically conducting materials in catalytic
systems. This interest has lead to work on
ceramic fuel cells, electrochemical reactors and
sensors using both oxygen-ion and proton
conducting systems. He has published over 100
refereed papers and is the author of a text book
in the area of kinetics and reaction
engineering. He is Executive Editor for Chemical
Engineering Science. He is both a Chartered
Chemist and a Chartered Engineer as well as
being a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical
Engineers.
Professor Metcalfe is also a Fellow of the
Royal Academy of Engineering, and the principal
investigator of the
Applications of Ion Transport Group at
Newcastle University.
