A native of Norwich, England, in October 2006 he became the first Governor's Chair at the University of Tennessee and also Director of the UT/ORNL Center for Molecular Biophysics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Smith obtained is Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of London and was a post-doctoral associate and Lecturer at Harvard University. Prior to his Governor's Chair in Tennessee, Smith had previously lead research groups in Biomolecular Simulation at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA) at Saclay, France (1989-1998) and as Chair of Computational Molecular Biophysics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany (1998-2006).

Smith has performed and directed research in high-performance computer simulation of biological macromolecules, neutron scattering in biology, the physics of proteins, bioenergetics and the analysis of structural change in proteins. As of 2007 Smith had published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific articles.
