Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory at Yale University. Chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Nuclear Science, a member of the Council of the American Physical Society and of the Executive Committee of the National Research Council Division of Physical Sciences, and a Director of the United Nuclear Corporation, he has worked extensively in research in nuclear structure and nuclear reaction mechanisms utilizing particularly3 He and heavy ion projectiles; he has been actively involved in the development of new nuclear physics accelerators and, with J. M. McKenzie, fabricated and used the first germanium surface barrier detectors in nuclear reaction studies as well as the first room temperature semiconductor detector—a silicon surface barrier unit.
