Early life and education
Judith Howard attended Salisbury Grammar School for girls, and later attended University of Bristol in 1963 to study chemistry.
As a final year undergraduate, Howard worked on the structure of the compound, tin tetra-iron-tetra carbonyl, which was the basis of her very first published work.
She graduated from University of Bristol with a B.Sc. and was offered a three year DPhil at the University of Oxford to study the structure of insulin with Dorothy Hodgkin.
She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree at the University of Bristol in 1986. In 1991 Howard moved to become Professor of Crystallography at Durham University.
In 2005 she received an Honorary Degree from the University of Bath.
According to the Web of Science ResearcherID she has co-authored over 1,100 scientific publications, resulting in a H-index of 73.
Work life
Howard's research is in x-ray crystallography. Her interests include in-situ crystallisation of liquids, ultra-low temperature crystallography, high pressure crystallography, experimental charge density analysis, solid-state reactions the study of non-linear optical materials and magnetically interesting materials.
Howard has created instruments that allow scientists to help advance and prove theories in the field of X-ray crystallography.
