 Tributes
paid to Dr Michael Chadwick
Tributes have been
paid to former University Chemistry Lecturer, Dr Michael Chadwick, who
has died, aged 64.
Following a Cambridge
PhD and research at UC London, Mike joined the University in 1967. His
research utilised synthetic, spectroscopic, and diffraction methods in
the structural inorganic chemistry of complex transition-metal cyanides
and carbonyls. Mike was especially concerned with students in tutorial,
seminar and laboratory teaching until ill-health forced early retirement
in 1980.
He maintained an active
interest in Labour politics (he had served as a Bradford Councillor) and
had just completed a long-contemplated visit to Cuba.
He is survived by
two daughters, Hilary and Ruth (both of whom have been employed in the
University's administration) and his former wife Hazel - the recently
retired Manager of the Students' Union Advice Centre.
Emeritus Professor
Derry Jones, of the University's Department of Chemical and Forensic Sciences,
said: "Mike was a good teacher and a perceptive and congenial research
collaborator; he will be remembered with appreciation by many former chemistry
students."
