Additional information
Brian Eyre
spent the first part of his career developing nuclear materials for the Central Electricity Generating board at their Berkeley Laboratory and the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) at their Harwell Laboratory. He left UKAEA in 1979 to become professor of materials science at Liverpool University. In 1984, he returned to UKAEA as director of fuel and engineering technology. He became a board member in 1987 and was deputy chair from 1989 to 1996. This encompassed the period of restructuring of UKAEA and privatization of AEA Technology. Eyre was also appointed chief executive of UKAEA in 1990, a post he held until 1994. On privatization of AEA Technology in 1996, he was appointed deputy chair of the new company until his retirement in late 1997. His main areas of interest are electron-microscopy studies of irradiation damage in metals and alloys and studies of the deformation and fracture processes of metals and alloys. Currently a visiting professor at the Materials Department, University of Oxford, Eyre was appointed to a new post of chair of the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils in the United Kingdom. Eyre is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Juan Matthews
after graduating in physics from the University of Surrey, started research into computational modeling of mainly nuclear materials for the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) in the late 1960s. He went on to lead the Radiation Damage and Theoretical Metallurgy Group of the Theoretical Physics Division at Harwell Laboratory and later became head of the Materials and Chemistry Division of AEA Technology. Beginning in 1993, he spent six years building technology business for AEA Technology in Asia, mainly based in Tokyo. Matthews currently splits his time between research into advanced materials for energy applications as an Honorary Fellow at the Center for Materials Research, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London, and helping Russian research and development centers commercialize as part of the European Union Tacis Program.
