Dr. Angus Wilkinson

Biography

Angus Wilkinson is a Professor and Associate Chair of Academic Programs at the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology. He holds a B.A. in Chemistry from Oxford University, U.K., awarded in 1988, and a D.Phil. in Chemistry from the same institution, obtained in 1992. He was honored with the NSF CAREER award in 1996, along with the Sigma Xi award for outstanding research as a junior faculty member in the same year. He additionally received the Linus Pauling Prize awarded by the American Crystallographic Association in 1991. Wilkinson's research focuses on Low Negative Thermal Expansion (NTE) materials, exploring the behavior of materials that exhibit shrinkage when heated, a property that can be utilized in thermal expansion tailored applications. His work features fundamental studies of oxides, oxyfluorides, and fluorides, with a particular emphasis on structural disorder's role in influencing physical properties under varying pressures and stresses. Angus is also engaged in the development of novel synchrotron X-ray methods to analyze materials under extreme conditions. His interests include inorganic materials chemistry, high-pressure properties, and innovative cement systems with reduced CO2 emissions.
