Anthony Kevin Cheetham FRS is a British materials scientist. In 2012 he became Vice-President and Treasurer of the Royal Society.[4]
Education
Cheetham was educated at St Catherine's College, Oxford in 1965 to study chemistry, and graduated with a first class BA in 1969.[5] He started his doctorate at Wadham College, Oxford in the same year, with a thesis on 'The Structures of some Non-stoichiometric Compounds', which was awarded in 1971.[5]
Career and research
After receiving his doctorate he became a lecturer at Lincoln College, Oxford. In 1974 he became the Lecturer in Chemical Crystallography, and in 1990 he became Reader in Organic Materials. He moved to the United States a year later to take up a position as Professor of Materials and Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2007, Cheetham moved back to the United Kingdom to become Goldsmiths' Professor of Materials Science at University of Cambridge, a position he held until 2017.[5] He currently holds a Distinguished Visiting Professorship at the National University of Singapore[6] and has also returned to University of California, Santa Barbara as a Research Professor.[7]
His area of research is that of inorganic materials, involving their synthesis, characterization and application. He is working on the development of advanced methods for the chemical and structural characterization of polycrystalline materials and the application of the techniques to the study of zeolite catalysts, molecular sieves and optical materials.
His former doctoral students include Paul Attfield[1] Clare Grey[2] and Russell E. Morris.[3]
Honours and awards
- 1982 Corday-Morgan Medal and Prize of Royal Society of Chemistry
- 1988 Solid State Chemistry Award of the Royal Society
- Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1994[8]
