Robert J. Forster

Robert J. Forster is a professor of Physical Chemistry at Dublin City University. He is a member of the Royal Irish Academy.

Work Forster has authored many research papers in leading international journals in chemistry. His research has focused on attempts to create new materials with useful electronic or photonic properties, to create new experimental techniques to discover chemical reactivity under extreme conditions and at short timescales and to find theoretical insights into factors influencing electron transfer. His work has implications for a wide variety of areas which include the following: corrosion, biological membranes, the emerging area of molecule-based electronics and heterogeneous catalysis.

Published works In addition to many published articles Forster was joint author of the book: Interfacial Supramolecular Assemblies : Electrochemical and Photophysical Properties, Wiley, 2003.
