About
Jeremy Smith is a leading figure in combinatorial materials science, with a particular focus on the high-throughput development and characterization of marine coatings. His research centers on accelerating the discovery of novel surface materials, especially fouling-release coatings designed to prevent biofouling on ship hulls. Smith’s major contribution lies in pioneering automated, rapid screening methods that bridge the gap between fast materials synthesis and meaningful performance evaluation. His most cited work, from 2007, details the invention of an automated spinning water jet apparatus—a breakthrough tool that enables the high-throughput assessment of coating candidates by simulating hydrodynamic shear forces. This innovation allows researchers to rapidly down-select from large libraries of compositions, identifying the most promising formulations for further study. With 46 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference in the field, demonstrating the power of combinatorial approaches to solve complex materials challenges. Smith’s work has significantly advanced the practical application of high-throughput experimentation in surface science, making him a key figure in the ongoing effort to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly marine coatings.
