Development of smoke reducing systems for hydrocarbon fuels with applications to In-Situ Oil Spill Burning and Firefighter Training

Developed a programme of synchrotron radiation studies of nanoparticle production in flames, arcs and laser ablation plasmasDissociative recombination and dissociative attachment measurements using Flowing Afterglow Technique (FALP-MS and CRESU) and Heavy Ion Storage Ring merged beam method (ASTRID, CRYRING)Supervised students in the Perseus rocket.

Head of Van de Graaff LaboratoryDirector of Center for Chemical PhysicsDirector of Graduate Studies, Physics DepartmentResearcher in Atomic and Molecular Physics and CombustionDeveloped "Tekflame" low smoke fuel for firefighter training in collaboration with Imperial Oil Resources Ltd (Canada), Exxon Chemical Co. (US) and US Air ForcePerformed pioneering.

Experimental studies of Electron Ion Recombination using the Merged Beams technique.Implemented a new grid-based method for determining product branching ratios for Dissociative Recombination studies. (Later widely used at CRYRING, ASTRID and TSR storage rings)Extensive studies of H3+ and H2+ recombination

Dept. Of Physics, London, Ontario

Performed one of the first experimental measurements of dielectronic recombination (e + C+)

Dept. Of Computer Science

Developed a COBOL based course on Data ProcessingTaught Fortran to first year studentsDeveloped a database of ship images for use as targets in a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) study Assisted in development of a ship wake identification project

Dept. Of Physics

Performed first measurement of dissociative recombination of HeH+

Dept. Of Chemistry

Designed and developed apparatus for synchrotron radiation studies of molecular beams and flamesConsulted on vacuum techniques during the design of the NSLS synchrotron radiation facility

Dept. Of Physics

Developed an experimental measurement programme for the study of the dissociative recombination of molecular ions for interstellar chemistry and upper atmospheric chemistry applicationsPerformed first measurement of the dissociative recombination of CH+. This measurement showed that a stationary state chemical model cannot explain the presence of this ion.
