                                            Create an image of a distinguished British chemist and academic, Sir John Meurig Thomas, in a setting that reflects his profession, possibly in a laboratory or a university office, surrounded by elements that symbolize his work in heterogeneous catalysis, solid state chemistry, and surface science. He should be depicted in a formal or semi-formal attire, reflecting his status as a prominent figure in his field, with a background that could include symbols or objects representing his contributions to science, such as molecular models, catalysts, or equipment used in chemical research. The style should be realistic and convey a sense of authority, intelligence, and contribution to his field.
