Garth Jones undertook a BSc at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Following that he completed a PhD under Michael N. Paddon-Row at the same institution in 2002. Since then he has worked at the University of Essex, the Dipartimento di Chimica "G. Ciamician", Universita' di Bologna, Italy and at University of California, Berkeley where he spent time as a visiting scholar in 2008/9 visiting Graham Fleming’s group, while undertaking an EPSRC 'Life-Sciences Interface' Fellowship from 2006-2009 in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Essex. He has been at UEA since 2010.
He is a physical chemist who uses computational and theoretical techniques and is principally interested in excited state dynamics of molecules and light-molecule interactions. He develops mixed quantum-classical approaches to perform simulations of important processes in physical chemistry such as electron transfer, electronic energy transfer and photodissociation.
