John was a great chemist, a wonderful colleague and a fantastic mentor. He was a creative thinker, passionate about equality and providing opportunity for all. John made many contributions to the School of Chemistry at Birmingham. He also collaborated extensively so his loss will be felt by many across the academic community.
An in memoriam page has been set up to commemorate Professor Fossey’s contribution to the University and wider Chemistry community.
