Ian Jones is Professor of Physical Metallurgy. He has co-authored ~200 papers and written two textbooks. He is an electron microscopist and directs the University's Centre for Electron Microscopy. His major research grants are from EPSRC, HEFCE and AWM.
PhD in High Energy Electron Diffraction, Birmingham, 1972
MA , Cambridge, 1971
Ian Jones came to Birmingham in 1969. Birmingham was one of three universities to be awarded a high voltage (1 MeV) electron microscope and Ian was one of the first students at Birmingham whose PhD research involved using the microscope. Electron microscopy has remained Ian's principal research interest through the whole of his professional life, which has been conducted at Birmingham, with regular spells as a visitor in the USA, Japan and China.
