Alan Rowan completed his PhD in physical organic chemistry in 1991 at the University of Liverpool, England. After a period of postdoctoral research at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, he returned to Europe and became an assistant professor at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the group of Roeland Nolte. In 2004, he became a full professor in molecular materials. His scientific interests are in the design and construction of supramolecular assemblages possessing catalytic and electronic properties. He is also a member of the editorial advisory board for the RSC New Journal of Chemistry, member of the New Journals Advisory Board of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a member of the International Advisory Board of Chemistry World.
