Well… this feels like the end of an era! I remember you joining the School (Department!) in the early 1990s, and becoming popular with students in no time. It has been a great pleasure – and inspiration – to teach alongside you in so many ways. I’ll always remember the labs we used to teach in the old days (when oscilloscopes were proper instruments with no fancy ‘auto-scale’…!) and I’ve lost count of how many project vivas we’ve conducted together, where you put students at ease with your humour and always drew the best out of them. In your teaching, I always admired your desire to understand how students might interpret things, and go the extra mile to make things clearer.

Above all, I’ve always appreciated your flexibility and willingness to teach a range of topics. So, you will leave a very large gap to fill; my ‘workload’ spreadsheet now has a lot of holes! This just goes to show what an extensive contribution you have made and how much you will be missed by all of us.

I am, like many I suspect, quite envious of your timely escape. Of course, none of the current situation was on the horizon when you decided to retire… but you’ve certainly timed it well!

I wish you a very happy retirement, and many more years of creativity, exploring the world, your family and, of course, your great sense of humour!

Keep in touch!

Dear Chris
Many congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. I very much hope your retirement plans don’t need to be postponed for too long and you can relocate to Lanzarote very soon.

All the best
Christoph

Hi Chris, Could you imagine a better time to retire? :) Congrats and all the best for a happy time ahead. You set an example as an academic, which is very hard to follow. I wish I had a bit of your practical insight and experience in electronics, but I guess I traded all that with quantum uncertainty ;) Happy retirement, Mohsen

Many congratulations on your escape. I hope you make it to Lanzarote. Look out for the border guards.

Here's your mugshot from when you were captured - in case you need to forge some papers.

Enjoy your well earned retirement.

Dear Chris,  we both started work in the School (then "Department" of EEE) at the same time in Autumn 1993.  Perhaps, like me, you expected to be in Leeds for just a few years ... but we are .. a crazy length of time later!  Over all those years I've seen you devote an immense amount of effort to the School, and help and support thousands of budding electronic engineers ... as well as teaching us, your colleagues, a few things too!  Your "retirement" is hugely well-deserved, but I suspect it's not really "retirement" ... you're simply going to be extremely busy in the Canaries, rather than in UoL.  So, congratulations on a really successful career at Leeds, and congratulations too on engineering your escape!!
Very best wishes,
Rob.

You really will be sorely missed Chris. But on a positive note, no more 4 hours commuting every day (although that has temporarily stopped anyway). And also so much spare time now for your "cave radio"  projects!
Please do keep in touch.
Very Best Wishes - Des

Best of luck with everything, Chris. As module leader in the 00's, you taught me about the efficiency of matched impedances, but as a colleague in more recent years, you taught me the efficiency of the train ride to work as a place to finish off lecture slides. I hope you enjoy your retirement as much as you’ve enjoyed your time here!

All the best,
Dave M

I really hope you have a very happy retirement.  You can always teach in China from time to time if you feel you need some extra income! ;-)  Don't get stuck down any potholes but enjoy your daughters growing up.  All the very best,

That was brilliant timing.... what with Covid. I am forever grateful that you were my MSc supervisor and mentor. I owe you a great deal....... what I did not expect was to end up working at the University.... I am not too sure if I should be thankful for that.

Take care and stay chilled my man.

Hugs........ Roger

Well deserved. It was an honour and very inspirational to demonstrate alongside you for the last couple of years. I wish you all the best.

Many thanks for everything over the years. I was just thinking and it is two decades ago that I was sat in B55 as a student and you were showing me how to use a CRT oscilloscope (I think it was during the ultrasonic distance sensor lab)!

You were also a great help when I first started teaching and I'll always appreciate that. You do an enormous amount of teaching/project supervision and will leave an absolutely huge hole to fill.

You'll be missed around the place, no matter how hectic and busy we were, we always found time to have a laugh and a joke to help us keep sane!

I hope that COVID doesn't ruin your retirement plans too much!
