A. Lindsay Greer

Lindsay Greer serves as Professor of Materials Science at the University of Cambridge's Conservation Research Institute, with visiting appointments at Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, Centre d'Études Nucléaires de Grenoble, and Washington University's Department of Physics and Centre for Materials Innovation.

Education

• MA, University of Cambridge
• PhD, University of Cambridge

Research Focus: Professor Greer's work centers on condensed matter structure and properties, with seminal contributions to metallurgy and alloy systems. His editorial leadership at Philosophical Magazine (founded 1798) underscores expertise in material behavior under extreme conditions, particularly in light metals processing and phase transformations. Research integrates experimental mechanics with computational modeling to advance sustainable material design.

Honors

• Pilkington Teaching Prize (University of Cambridge)
• Light Metals & Cast Shop Technology Awards (TMS)
• Hume Rothery Prize (Institute of Materials)
• Griffith Medal (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining)
• ISMANAM Senior Scientist Medal
• Honda Kotaro Memorial Medal (Tohoku University)
• Lee Hsun Lecture Award (Chinese Academy of Sciences)

Leadership: As Advisory Professor at Chongqing University and editor of a premier materials journal, Greer directs international collaborations in material innovation. His 350+ publications demonstrate consistent funding support from major scientific bodies, though specific grants aren't detailed in source materials. Current work continues through the Conservation Research Institute's cross-disciplinary framework at the David Attenborough Building.
