Why Is Robert Adair Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Robert Kemp Adair was an American physicist. He latterly held the position of Sterling Professor Emeritus of physics at Yale University. Biography Adair served in the European theatre after volunteering for World War II and was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze star. After achieving a doctorate in experimental nuclear physics at the University of Wisconsin he worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island. In 1959 he joined the faculty at Yale, serving as chair of the Department of Physics and director of the Division of Physical Sciences. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976 where he served as Chairman of the Physics Section 1986-1989 and Chairman of the Class of Physical Sciences 1991–1994. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997, after a distinguished career in, among many other subfields of physics, weak-interaction physics at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at BNL.
