Education

Goodwin was educated at Sydney Boys High School and represented Australia at the International Chemistry Olympiad in 1996, winning a gold medal.[1][2]

Goodwin earned a BSc in chemistry and pure mathematics at University of Sydney (USYD) in 2002. He completed a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry at USYD in 2004 under advisor Cameron Kepert. Goodwin earned a Ph.D. in mineral physics from University of Cambridge in 2006 under advisor Martin T. Dove. He was a junior research fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge from 2004 to 2009.[3][4] Goodwin was a visiting fellow at the Australian National University in 2007.[4]

Career

From 2008 to 2014, Goodwin was an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellow and an associate professor in the department of chemistry at University of Oxford. He became a professor of materials chemistry at University of Oxford in 2014 and a university research professor in 2018.[4] He researches inorganic and solid-state chemistry. Goodwin's research has advanced the theoretical and applied studies of disorder and flexibility in materials. His laboratory applied diffraction and modelling techniques to study disordered materials and create new materials.[3]

Personal life

Goodwin is married to Jonathan. He is an LGBT academic.[5]

Awards and honours

Goodwin won the 2010 Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize for his work in materials with "negative thermal expansion and in the field of total scattering methods."[6] In 2013, Goodwin won the Marlow Award for his "innovative studies of the physical chemistry and chemical physics of amorphous materials."[7] He won the 2017 Corday-Morgan Prize for his "innovative studies of correlated disorder and its role in functional materials."[8] Goodwin is a 2018 United Kingdom winner of the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists.[3]

Goodwin received two five-year grants from the European Research Council: an ERC Starting Grant through the 2011 call of the Seventh Framework Program and an ERC Advanced Grant through the 2017 call of the Eighth Framework Program (Horizon 2020).[9]

Goodwin was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2023.[10]
