Author Information

Professor Howell G.M. Edwards M.A., B.Sc., D. Phil., C.Chem., FRSC. Howell Edwards is Professor Emeritus of Molecular Spectroscopy at the University of Bradford. He read Chemistry at Jesus College in the University of Oxford and after completing his B.A. and B.Sc. degrees he studied for his doctorate in Raman spectroscopy at Oxford with Dr Leonard Woodward and then became a Research Fellow at Jesus College, University of Cambridge. He joined the University of Bradford as a Lecturer in Structural and Inorganic Chemistry, becoming Head of the Department of Chemical and Forensic Sciences, and was awarded a Personal Chair in Molecular Spectroscopy in 1996. He has received several international awards (Sir Harold Thompson Award; Charles Mann Award; Emanuel Boricky Medal; Norman Sheppard Award) in a spectroscopic career which has resulted in the publication of over 1350 research papers in Raman spectroscopy and the characterisation of materials, along with six books on the application of this analytical technique to art, archaeology and forensic science. He has had a lifelong interest in porcelains and the industrial archaeology , excavation and the preservation of early porcelain manufactory sites , many of which have now disappeared in urban expansion .He has authored six major books on porcelains and has also produced several monographs on the manufactories at Swansea and Nantgarw and the people associated with them. Howell Edwards is Honorary Scientific Adviser to the de Brecy Trust on the scientific evaluation of their artworks and paintings. Professor Philippe Colomban, ENSCI engineer, M.Sc., Docteur es-Sciences Physiques. Philippe Colomban is CNRS Research Director Emeritus at Sorbonne Université. After an MSc in Ceramics, Glass & Cement Engineering (ENSCI-Sèvres) in 1975 and a MSc in Solid State Physics at Université Pierre-et-Marie Curie in 1976, Philippe Colomban obtained in 1979 the Ph.D. Hab. degree (Docteur es-Sciences Physiques) from the Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie. He was one of the first in the world to develop Sol-Gel routes for advanced optoelectronic PLZT ceramics. He prepared single crystals, ceramics and studied their superionic conductors’ structure and ion and proton mobility. From 1989 to 1993 he was in charge of the new projects at the Materials Department of ONERA, the French Establishment for Aerospace Research and Development (materials for rockets and missiles, aircraft engines, Sol-Gel routes, ceramic- or polymer-matrix composites, fibres, nanoparticle-based microwave absorbing materials and Functionally Graded composites…) and worked as Consultant at the ONERA for 10 further years. From 1994 to the present, as CNRS Research Professor his research interests include Materials Science and Raman, IR and neutron spectroscopy (in situ analysis, fuel cells, electrolysis, fibres/composites…). Attention is paid to the correlation between Raman parameters and mechanical and electrical (ionic, electronic) properties…as well to the identification of the technology used in ancient ceramics, glasses, paintings and buildings. Ph. Colomban has published two books, more than 500 peer-reviewed papers, many book chapters and has applied for 10 patents; he has presented more than 100 invited talks and was visiting professor in Japan, Korea, South Africa, and Tunisia. He is Associated Editor of the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy and member of several Editorial Boards of journals devoted to Spectroscopy, Materials Science or Archaeometry. Professor Peter Vandenabeele, is a professor at Ghent University and head of the Raman spectroscopy research group. He is a doctor in analytical chemistry and has performed research on applications of Raman spectroscopy in several research fields, including cultural heritage artefacts. He is member of the department of Archaeology at Ghent University and an associated member of the department of Chemistry at the same institution. His main research topics involve novel applications of Raman spectroscopy, especially involving the development and application of mobile instrumentation. Until the present time, Peter Vandenabeele has co-authored 170+ research papers and several books on this research topic and often gives invited presentations at international conferences.
