Education

Mann was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in 1976, and a DPhil from the University of Oxford in 1982 under the supervision of Professor R. J. P. Williams FRS.

Career

Following his DPhil, Mann was elected to a Junior Research Fellowship at Keble College, University of Oxford, and then awarded a lectureship at the University of Bath in 1984 where he was appointed to a full professorship in 1990. Professor Mann moved to the University of Bristol in 1998.

Research

Mann’s research is concerned with the chemical synthesis, characterization and emergence of complex forms of organized matter. His research activities include: biomineralization, biomimetic materials chemistry, synthesis and self-assembly of nanoscale objects, functional nanomaterials, complexity and emergent behaviour in hybrid nanostructures, and solvent-free liquid proteins. His current work is focused on the design and construction of synthetic protocells. Mann has published over 480 scientific papers with a current h-index of 112 and over 45,000 citations, and is listed in the 2014 Thomson Reuters index of world’s most influential scientific minds.
