Early life and education
Judith Howard attended Salisbury Grammar School for girls, and later attended University of Bristol in 1963 to study chemistry.[4]
As a final year undergraduate, Judith worked on the structure of the compound, tin tetra-iron-tetra carbonyl, which was the basis of her very first published work.[5]
She graduated from University of Bristol with a B.Sc. and worked at the University of Oxford as a postgraduate student in Dorothy Hodgkin's group. She married David Howard.
She was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree at the University of Bristol in 1986.[6] In 2005 she received an Honorary Degree from the University of Bath.
According to the Web of Science ResearcherID[7] she has co-authored over 1,100 scientific publications, resulting in a H-index of 73.
Work life
Her most recent publishes work is "Structural and spectroscopic characterisation of the spin crossover in polymorph"
Howard has created instruments that allow scientists to help advance and prove theories in the field of X-ray crystallography.[8]
