Len Barbour was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1965. In 1994 he obtained his Ph.D. under the supervision of Luigi Nassimbeni at the University of Cape Town where he investigated thermodynamic and structural aspects of solvate formation and decomposition. He then undertook a postdoctoral fellowship with Jerry Atwood at the University of Missouri-Columbia where he continued to pursue his interest in supramolecular chemistry and where in 1997 he was appointed as Research Assistant Professor. In 2003 he moved back to South Africa to the University of Stellenbosch. He was promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 2005 and currently holds a South African Research Chair in Nanostructured Functional Materials. His research interests include the study of solid-state phenomena with particular emphasis on the design and characterization of porous materials for gas sorption.
