Dr Stuart H. Taylor has been active in the field of heterogeneous catalysis research since he started his PhD on selective methane oxidation in 1991. He has worked extensively in the field of oxidation catalysis; current research areas focus on Volatile Organic Compound oxidation, low temperature carbon monoxide oxidation and selective oxidation of alkanes, aromatics and biorenewables. Other interests include catalyst preparation, Fischer Tropsch synthesis, environmental catalysis and mesoporous acid catalysts. He has published over 120 scientific papers and patents. He has also presented his work at numerous international conferences, including a number of keynote and invited presentations. He receives funding from the EPSRC in the UK, and a number of national and international industrial companies including Johnson Matthey, Sabic, BP, Oxford catalysts, NDA, Molecular Products, Dow and ExxonMobil. He has been visiting lecturer at the University of Wittswatersrand since 2001, and has much active collaboration, including international links with institutions in the USA and Spain. In 2007 he was awarded, in collaboration with Graham Hutchings, the IChemE Environwise prize for recognition of his work in the preparation of novel and highly active catalysts prepared using greener routes. In recognition of his expertise in the field he has been invited to undertake numerous roles. These include guest editor for Topics in Catalysis, and he has been invited as an expert for advisory panels for numerous prestigious international catalysis conferences. Within the UK he is an elected committee member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Applied Catalysis Group and Surface Reactivity and Catalysis interest groups.
