Adrian Wright obtained his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Birmingham in 1995 and then moved to the University of Cambridge to study phosphate framework materials. He returned to the University of Birmingham in 1999 to take up a lectureship in materials chemistry and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2008
