Dr. Wilkinson obtained his bachelors degree in chemistry from Oxford University in 1988. He was a graduate student with Dr. A. K. Cheetham in the Department of Chemical Crystallography /Inorganic Chemistry at Oxford from 1988 until December 1991. His graduate work focused on the application of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction to problems in solid-state chemistry. This work involved extensive collaboration with Prof. N. Bartlett in the chemistry department at U.C. Berkeley, D. E. Cox at the National Synchrotron Light Source, and R.B. Von Dreele at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center. For the last two years of his graduate studies he held a senior Scholarship from Christ Church, Oxford. From October 1991 until June 1993, Dr. Wilkinson was a Junior Research Fellow with Christ Church, Oxford. However, most of this period was spent on leave at the Materials Research Laboratory, University of California Santa Barbara. His work in Santa Barbara focused on the processing and structure of oxide ferroelectric materials. In October 1993 he joined the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology as an assistant professor.

His work at Georgia Tech has been wide ranging. Current projects include the synthesis and characteristics of negative thermal expansion ceramics, an exploration of low oxidation state gallium and indium oxide chemistry, the development of resonant scattering methods for use with thermelectric energy conversion materials, and an examination of cement durability under sulfate attack conditions using high energy x-ray scattering combined with microtomography. Previous projects at Georgia Tech have included an exploration of chiral templates for the synthesis of chiral microporous materials and the low tempertuare synthesis of ferroelectrics. He received tenure in 1999 and is now an Associate Professor.

Dr. Wilkinson is a member of several professional bodies including: the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, AXE, the American Crystallographic Association, the British Crystallographic Association, the American Ceramic Society and the Materials Research Society. He is treasurer for the 2003 SERMACS (South Eastern Regional ACS) meeting, an executive comitte member of the POW-GEN3 intrument access team, an excutive committee member of SHUG (SNS and HFIR users Group) and member of HEXCAT (High Energy X-ray Collaborative Access Team) at the Advanced Photon Source. He serves on the program advisory comittee for the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source at Argonne National Laboratory and on the NRC Associateship program's advisory pannel.
