Early life
Cates was born on 5 May 1961.[5] He read Natural Sciences and earned a PhD at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1985, where he studied with Sam Edwards.
Academic career
Cates was a research fellow and lecturer at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge before moving to Edinburgh in 1995.
Honours
Cates won the Bingham Medal of the US Society of Rheology in 2016.[6] He had previously won the 2013 Weissenberg Award of the European Society of Rheology[7] and the 2009 Gold Medal of the
He was also elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2019 for research on the rheology, dynamics, and thermodynamics of complex fluids, and for scientific leadership in the European Community.
