Professor Martin Taylor
holds a Personal Chair in the University of Wales and leads the
Polymer Electronics Research Group at Bangor. He was born in Harlech,
Wales in 1946. He was awarded a BSc in Electronic Engineering in
1967 and a PhD in 1970 both from the University of Wales. His PhD
was awarded for a thesis entitled "Electrical Characteristics
of Polymeric Materials".
Professor Taylor is a fellow of the
Institute of Physics (IOP) and has served on the Committee of
the IOP Static Electrification Group for many years. He is also
a Member
of the Institution of Electrical Engineers and a Chartered Engineer.
He has published many papers on the electrical properties of thin
films, including insulating polymers, silicon dioxide, Langmuir-Blodgett
films and most recently on semiconducting polymers. Ever since his
PhD work, Professor Taylor has had an interest in the problems caused
by static electricity in industry. This has led to numerous consultancies
with some of the world`s leading companies and culminated in the
publication of book entitled "Industrial Electrostatics - Fundamentals
and Measurements".
