His final Stage 1 Organic Chemistry lecture was marked by a heartfelt guard of honour by students and staff – a true testament to his impact on not just the academic community but the lives of his students.
Beyond the lecture halls, Dr Knight was actively involved in various research projects. Throughout his career, his work has been published in reputable scientific journals such as the Journal of the American Chemical Society, reflecting his contribution and dedication to the field.
As the video of his send-off was posted to Newcastle University’s social media channels, students and colleagues have expressed their admiration for Dr Knight’s enthusiastic teaching and commitment to education and research.
With Dr. Knight now embarking on his well-deserved retirement and new chapter in his life, we wish him all the best and express our deepest gratitude for his decades of service to Newcastle University!
