Robert Pal
Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Durham University.
Robert Pal grew up in Hungary and graduated from KLTE University of Debrecen, in 2004. Once completing his undergraduate studies he has moved to Durham to start a Ph.D with Professor David Parker on Responsive Luminescent Lanthanide systems. Completing his Ph.D in late 2007 he began to work as a Postdoctoral researcher within the Parker group, also working closely with Professor Andrew Beeby, moving away from organic chemistry towards bio-physical chemistry, spectroscopy and microscopy. In 2014 he has been awarded with a prestigious University Research Fellowship from the Royal Society to study the Development and Chemical Application of Phase Modulation Nanoscopy.
Robert is also the Technical Director of a successful University spin out company, FScan Ltd, which has developed lanthanide technology to be used as part of a novel test for Prostate Cancer detection that is currently part of an ongoing clincial trial.
He has also founded PB Spectroscopy limited alongside Prof. Andrew Beeby, a company that is dedicated for the development of miniaturised and affordable spectroscopic instrumentation and solutions.
