Abstract
Michael Duesbery, a noted material scientist, died on 21 June 1999 at the age of 57 after a long and courageous fight against severe illness. He was one of the first physicists/materials scientists who started, in the sixties, to use computer modelling as a method to explore the atomic level properties of crystal defects, in particular dislocations. He quickly established himself as an authority not only in the area of computer simulation but, generally, in the theory of the atomic level aspects of the deformation behaviour of materials. He wrote more than 80 papers, many of which, including those dating back to the late sixties, are still extensively quoted and are a source of valuable insights for the present generation of scientists involved in computer modelling of materials.
