Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Gibbon is a seasoned materials and colloid scientist with over three decades of R&D leadership, now coordinating chemical investigations into contamination of the River Tees and its marine environment. He combines deep technical expertise—from colloid and interface science to high-throughput experimentation and surface treatments—with a systems-first approach that rapidly synthesizes domain knowledge across disciplines. A former leader at ICI and AkzoNobel, he has built communities of practice, automated laboratory platforms, and advised academic materials programs, translating complex science into practical, deployable solutions. Simon’s work is distinguished by an ability to assemble improvised expert networks and apply rapid experimentation to novel problems, whether in industrial formulation or environmental forensics. Based in Northallerton, he also brings an unusual blend of coding curiosity and environmental advocacy, having moved from legacy scientific languages to modern scripting while engaging actively with community-led marine research.
