For five years he was Vice-Principal of the University (1987–92). He has held visiting professorship appointments at the University of Stanford, Berkeley, Pennsylvania (USA), New South Wales (Australia), Hong Kong and Cape Town and has received Honorary Doctorates from the University of Novi Sad (Yugoslavia) and the University of Wales. His research work has been recognized by the award of the Sir George Beilby Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and Institute of Metals (1969), the Rosenhain Medal of the Institute of Metals for contributions to Physical Metallurgy (1972) and the Platinum Medal, the premier medal of the Institute of Materials (1989). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (1986), a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (1990) and appointed a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1992. A former Council Member of the Science and Engineering Research Council, he has been Vice President of the Institute of Materials and President of the Federated European Materials Societies. Since retirement he has been academic consultant for a number of institutions both in the UK and overseas. R. J.
