Education

Ritchie received Master of Arts (MA), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)[7] and Doctor of Science (ScD) degrees in Physics and Materials Science from the University of Cambridge.[3] During his PhD, he worked with John F. Knott.[2]

Career and research

Ritchie is known for his research into the mechanics and micromechanisms of fracture and fatigue of a broad range of biological and structural materials, where he has provided a microstructural basis for their damage tolerance and fatigue limits.[3][8] As of 2017 his interests are focused on high entropy alloys and bulk metallic glasses,[9] the structural integrity of human bone,[10] and the development of novel structural materials from biologically inspired engineering.[3][11]

Awards and Honors

Ritchie has won numerous awards including the David Turnbull Lectureship from the Materials Research Society in 2013,[12] the Acta Materialia Gold Medal in 2014, and the Morris Cohen Award from The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) in 2017.[3] Ritchie was also the inaugural winner of the Sir Alan Cottrell Gold Medal from the International Congress on Fracture in 2009. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Engineering of the United States, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 2017.[3]

gollark: Seriously, NO comments on my media recommendations page?
gollark: You can, however, look at pictures on reddit.
gollark: It's £25 or so and never goes on sale, so no.
gollark: Wait, you could actually play Factorio and experience the difficulty in centrally coordinating production of everything with just 200ish items and machines which are deterministic and always do the same thing vs the several million (in different locations) items modern society will need to produce and... well, economies of scale, and nondeterminism, and local variation, and whatnot.
gollark: Why not play Central Planning Simulator 2020?
