David Leslie Andrews, FRSC, FInstP (born 15 October 1952) is a British emeritus professor of Chemical Physics at the University of East Anglia, where he was the Head of Chemical Sciences and Physics from 1996 to 1999.[1]

Education

David Andrews graduated (1st Class Hons) in Chemistry from University College London in 1973. He then obtained a PhD in theoretical chemistry from the same university in 1976.

Career

In 1979, he joined the University of East Anglia as a Lecturer.[1] Andrews was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1991 and to Reader in 1994. He was appointed Professor of Chemical Physics in 1996[1] and became Emeritus Professor in 2023.[2]

Research

Andrews and his research group have published on the theory of optical phenomena, developing quantum electrodynamical theory[3] and symmetry principles for applications including fluorescence and optical nanomanipulation.[4] Andrews has worked on the quantum theory of intermolecular energy transfer, including a theory of energy transfer that accommodates both radiationless and radiative processes.[5] He has also contributed to quantum optics and nonlinear optics, with studies of chiral interactions including a prediction of the hyper–Rayleigh scattering effect.[6][7] Research on chirality and optical helicity[8] have led to contributions to the theory of optical vortices.
