Biography

Peter Budd was born in Asmara, Eritrea, and attended Schools in North East Africa and England. He obtained his first degree (chemistry, 1978) and PhD (1981) from the University of Manchester. He spent eight years as a research chemist at the BP Research Centre, Sunbury-on-Thames, working on polymers and structural materials, returning to Manchester in 1989 as a lecturer. He is now Professor of Polymer Chemistry. His research group is developing materials for a variety of industrial and medical applications. Current research includes the development of polymeric, mixed-matrix and graphene-based membranes for gas and liquid separations, and the development of materials that encourage bone-cell growth for tissue engineering. He is a co-inventor of the type of high free volume polymer referred to as a “Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity” (PIM).
