Harry Hallam (academic)

Harry Evans Hallam (d. 1977) was a chemist and academic at the University College of Swansea.

Life and career

He passed away unexpectedly on 14 May 1977.[1] Hallam studied at University College of Aberystwyth and in the 1950s he was appointed to the staff of the Department of Chemistry at University College of Swansea.[2] In 1963, Hallam took a year's sabbatical and become an adviser in physical chemistry at the new University of Nigeria at Nsukka.[3] He was known for his work in infrared spectroscopy of the hydrogen bond and as one of the founders of matrix isolation spectroscopy.

The Harry Hallam Memorial Fund

In his memory, an endowment for an annual lecture to take a "particular account would be taken of Harry’s interest in spectroscopy" was created in 1977 with an appeal made for donations in the Journal of Molecular Structure. The lectureship is administered by the South Wales West Local Section of the Royal Society of Chemistry.[1]
