Professor Matthew J. Langton

I studied Chemistry at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, carrying out my Part II research year in the group of Harry Anderson FRS. I remained in Oxford for a DPhil with Paul Beer, followed by a short spell as a EPSRC Doctoral award PDRA in the same group. In 2015 I moved to the University of Cambridge to take up an Oppenheimer Early Career Research Fellowship, based in the group of Chris Hunter FRS. I returned to Oxford in 2018 to start my independent group as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. I was appointed Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 2020, and promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 2025. I am a Fellow and Tutor at Balliol College, where I teach all aspects of the Inorganic Chemistry course. In my spare time I enjoy tennis and playing with my two young daughters.
