Professor Mike Beckett is Emeritus Professor of Inorganic Chemistry within the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences and he is a specialist in the chemistry of boron. He has published more than 150 articles (h = 28) and has co-written a text book ('Periodic Table at a Glance', Wiley, 2006). His research papers on Lewis acidity measurement are internationally recognised and often cited as the 'Gutmann-Beckett method'. Mike Beckett is a Chartered Chemist and Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (CChem FRSC), a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and is an elected UK representative of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
