Spriggs Award of the American Ceramic Society 2015.
Vice President of the International Union of Crystallography 2014-2017.
President of the British Crystallographic Association 1996-2000.
I retired officially in 2010 but continue to engage in research and some teaching for Oxford Colleges and the Department of Physics. I am Emeritus Fellow of Jesus College Oxford.
In 1972 I derived a system (Acta Cryst. (1972). B28, 3384-3392) to describe the tilting of octahedra in perovskites, and this work is now recognised internationally. 3D printed models can be downloaded here 3dPrinting (amg122.com).
In 1986 I set up with J. Cosier a partnership, Oxford Cryosystems, to market low-temperature apparatus for crystallographers. This product is the market lead and Oxford Cryosystems | Oxford Cryosystems (oxcryo.com) is the world's almost exclusive manufacturer of such equipment.
I am currently General Editor of the International Newsletter of the International Union of Crystallography ((IUCr) Newsletter)

Our paper The missing boundary in the phase diagram of PbZr1-xTixO3 . Nature Comms., 5, 5231 (2014) has been awarded the Spriggs Prize by the American Ceramic Society.
In August 2014 I was elected Vice President of the International Union of Crystallography http://www.iucr.org(link is external)
Much of my time is now spent in bringing the subject of Crystallography to public attention, as it is relatively unknown. Here are some relevant examples:
