His PhD at Queen Mary College was in the area of fracture mechanics of cement mortars. He did postdoctoral work at Oxford University in collaboration with ICI developing high strength cement. He joined ICI Corporate Laboratory in 1981 on projects concerning macro defect free cement, viscous processing of ceramics and properties of perovskite ceramics, specifically High Temperature Superconductors (HTS). He joined London South Bank University in 1994 and developed HTS Magnetic resonance receive coils, microwave dielectrics, novel signal transformers and ferroelectric thin films. Recent work on microwave dielectric materials has resulted in development of ultra low loss alumina resonators and an understanding of the defect chemistry of TiO2 which has allowed production of very high Q and high dielectric constant materials. His current research targets functional materials and thin film deposition. He was a member of the Electrical Engineering RAE 2008 panel, sits on the Advisory Board of Cambridge Massachusetts Institute, the Advisory Board, Antenova Limited, a member of the DTI Working Group for the Pathfinder Programme at NPL and is a consultant on technical programmes for the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. He is an associate editor for the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. He is the author of over 200 journal publications and 21 patents. He is currently the KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) ‘Champion’ for the Department of Materials. He was awarded the 2008 IOM 3 Griffith Medal and Prize in recognition of his achievements in Materials Science.

After graduating from Cambridge he studied the electronic properties of metals for his PhD at Leeds University. He then investigated the processing of silicon nitride ceramics before moving to Harwell in 1975. There his research interests included: mass transport in ceramics (particularly at grain boundaries); high temperature corrosion; sol-gel processing of ceramics; cements and concrete for the disposal of radioactive waste; catalysts and adsorbents for environmental pollution abatement; and the mechanical properties of thin films. His current research topics include solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties of films and coatings, ceramic processing and sensors. He was awarded the Carl Wagner Prize in 1983 for work on high temperature corrosion and the Kroll Medal and Prize for Materials Chemistry in 2000. He is a co-founder of the fuel cell company Ceres Power Limited and has published over 250 papers in scientific journals and books. He was a member of the General Engineering Panel for the RAE 2008. He is currently on the Scientific Committee of the European Joint Undertaking on Fuel Cells and Hydrogen and is associate editor of the journal Fuel Cells. He was Dean of the Faculty of Engineering from September 2007 to August 2010. Alan retired on 30 September 2010 and is now part-time.
