Peter W. McMillan (1928-1982)
Peter McMillan is remembered especially for his research in 'glass-ceramics' and the publication of a text, representing
a landmark in this field, which has been reprinted in several languages since its first appearance in 1964 (Glass Ceramics, Academic Press, New York and London). It was written during his period as Head of the glass and ceramics group at the Nelson Research Centre of GEC Power Engineering. Peter McMillan subsequently joined the academic research community at a then newly established University of Warwick and, influenced by remarkable foresight on the part of the founding Head of Physics, Professor John Forty, developed a ceramic materials research group which has become prominent internationally and is the basis for the Centre for Advanced Materials Technology.
