SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROFESSIONAL CAREER OF DR. RADHA R. ROY
AT UNIVERSITIES IN EUROPE AND TEE UNITED STATES
-
Mounted Nuclear Physics Laboratories from the very
beginning at the University of Brussels, Belgium, Pennsylvania State
University, and Arizona State University. Quality of these laboratories
can be ascertained from letters of well known scientists such as Professor
Bates, Professor Sauer, and Professor Henriot, to cite a few who visited
the laboratories. Professor Henriot's letter states that Dr. Roy was
the best nuclear physicist in the whole of Belgium, and and Dr. Roy
is without equal in Belgium.
- Directed doctoral theses of students from five continents who saught
to work for him. Unsolicited letters from undergraduate and graduate
students are evidence of the popularity of his lectures.
- Organized the Science Palace as a representative of Belgium in the
1958 Brussels World Exhibition.
- Authored several doctorate and post doctorate level text books in
nuclear physics which were used in universities world wide. One text
was translated into Japanese, and another was well reviewed in Nature
by Professor George Bishop of Oxford University, a distinguished nuclear
physicist.
- Invited by the Chinese Physical Society to serve as a delegate in
the Citizen Ambassador Program, to visit China to study the state of
physics and physicist in China.
- Developed The Roy Process, a method of neutralizing nuclear wastes.
Enclosed are a few articles published in papers which describe some of
these activities. I also contributed invited articles on nuclear physics
in prestigious Academic American Encyclopedia.
