Abstract
Ron Bullough spent most of his career at the Harwell Laboratory of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (AEA). He was a theorist with a special ability for collaboration with experimentalists. He is known for his research relating to the theory of dislocations and their role in setting the properties of metals, including their ductility and resistance to fracture and, in particular, the influence of dislocations on the development of damage during irradiation, an aspect upon which he was probably the world authority. During the latter part of his career he carried substantial administrative responsibility as Chief Scientist of the AEA while still maintaining a significant presence in fundamental research, including studies relating to the stability of strained-layer semiconductor devices.
