Dr. Angus Wilkinson

Biography

Angus Wilkinson is a Professor at the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry with a joint appointment in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Oxford University in 1988, followed by a Doctorate from the same institution in 1992. His graduate research, conducted under the supervision of Dr. K. Cheetham, focused on the application of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction to solid-state chemistry. Between October 1991 and June 1993, he was a Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church, Oxford, and spent time at the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he worked on processing and characterizing oxide ferroelectric materials. Wilkinson joined Georgia Tech in 1993 as an assistant professor, received tenure in 1999, and was promoted to full professor in 2004. He is currently the Associate Chair of Operations in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. His research interests and projects are diverse, including the synthesis and characterization of negative thermal expansion ceramics, in-situ studies of cement hydration under high pressure and temperature conditions, and the development of reversible carbon dioxide adsorbents.
