Brief CV

B.Sc.; M.Sc., Queen's (1961); Ph.D., Saskatchewan (1967). Post Doctoral Fellow, Glasgow (1967-69); Lecturer, Glasgow (1969-71); Assistant Professor, Toronto (1971); Associate Professor, Toronto (1974); Professor, Toronto (1978).

Research Interests

Past research interests include:
electrofission and photofission; electron scattering from atomic nuclei; pion-nucleus scattering and pi-mesic atoms; search for dibaryon resonances pi - d system; proton scattering from atomic nuclei.

Current research:
The study of nuclear matter and the astrophysical r and rp processes with Radioactive Beams prepared and accelerated at the TRIUMF ISAC facilities. Specifically we are building and commissioning a large array of intrinsic Ge crystals to detect gamma-rays emitted from excited radioactive species far from stability via Coulomb Excitation and particle transfer reactions. This research is done at TRIUMF in collaboration with researchers at U. of Guelph, McMaster U., Simon Fraser U., St. Mary's U., U. of Montreal, Laval U. and TRIUMF.
