Professor Tony Stace obtained a BA and PhD in Chemistry from Essex University. In 1974 he moved to Sussex University to work with John Murrell on the development of techniques for the computer simulation of elementary chemical reactions. In 1977 he was awarded one of the first Advanced Research Fellowships to be offered by SERC. The fellowship was held at Southampton University where a programme of new experiments on the study of gas phase clusters was initiated. In 1983 he moved back to Sussex University and was appointed a lecturer in 1984 and promoted to Professor in 1993. During his time at Sussex he held the positions of Nuffield Foundation research fellow, visiting scientist at the Institute of Molecular Sciences in Okazaki (Japan), and visiting scientist at the National Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research in Tsukuba (Japan).In 1995 he was award the Tilden medal and lectureship of the Royal Society of Chemistry and is currently a member of the Faraday Council of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In 2002 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 2004 he moved to Nottingham University as Professor of Physical Chemistry.
