Professor Robert Hillman recently acted as guest editor of the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (also known as PCCP). This special issue on the theme of "Interfacial processes and mechanisms" celebrated the 75th birthday of Professor Hillman’s DPhil supervisor, John Albery.

The publication coincided with a conference held at Oxford University with a world-class scientific programme including a keynote lecture from the Nobel Laureate Rudy Marcus (pictured left, with Professor Hillman) (awarded in 1992 "for his contributions to the theory of electron transfer reactions in chemical systems")
