About the author
Brian Cantor has worked as a materials scientist for over 50 years. He is currently Professor of Materials at the University of Oxford and Brunel University London, and a Trustee of the Science Museums Group. He has been Vice-Chancellor of the Universities of Bradford and York, Head of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Oxford, Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a research scientist at General Electric, a visiting professor at Washington State University and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and a consultant at Alcan, NASA and Rolls-Royce. He founded and built up (amongst other things) the UK National Science Learning Centre (now the UK National STEM Centre), the World Technology Universities Network (WTUN), the Begbroke Science Park, the Heslington East Campus, and the Hull-York Medical School. He invented the field of multicomponent high-entropy materials and discovered the so-called Cantor alloys.
