John Adrian Pyle FRS is an English atmospheric scientist, Director of the Centre for Atmospheric Science in Cambridge, England. He is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, and since 2007 has held the "1920 Chair of Physical Chemistry" in the Chemistry Department. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society and of St Catharine's College, Cambridge.^[2][3]

Education

Pyle was educated at De La Salle College, Salford, gained his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics at Durham University and his DPhil from the University of Oxford in 1978.

Research

Pyle is known for his extensive work on atmospheric chemistry and its interactions with climate. His early research was focusing on issues related to stratospheric ozone depletion but in the following decades his work has expanded in a variety of chemistry and climate-related fields.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}
