Brian Conway studied chemistry and became an expert in electrochemistry. He has contributed much to the understanding of electrode kinetics, particularly those of the hydrogen evolution and the very earliest stages of metal oxidation. He has also served as a consultant to chemical research labs. He has received the Noranda award and medal, the Palladium Medal in 1989, and both the Linford Medal and the Kendall Award in 1984.
