Professor Bartlett is Head of the Electrochemistry Section at Southhampton and served as President of the International Society of Electrochemistry 2017-18.

His research focuses on the templated electrodeposition of nanostructured materials and on bioelectrochemistry. He has won a number of awards for his research including the 1992 Tajima Prize from the International Society of Electrochemistry, 2008 Electrochimica Acta Gold Medal of the International Society of Electrochemistry, 2014 Alessandro Volta Medal of the Europe Section of the Electrochemical Society, 2015 Galvani Medal of the Electrochemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society and the 2017 Breyer Medal of the Electrochemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2012.
