Science And Humanity: The Extraordinary Life Of Joseph H. Hamilton

English

Joseph H Hamilton is a world-leading nuclear physicist and the Landon C Garland Distinguished Professor of Physics at Vanderbilt University. He retired in 2022 after 64 years on the faculty and a career of major contributions in research, education, formation of collaborations, and construction of new facilities. His influence on the field of nuclear physics has been enormous and his mentorship of new talent profound. Starting from early life in a depression-era small town, he built a long and highly successful career in science and even in the interface between science and religion with extensive writings and lectures. Some of Hamilton's colleagues have summarized in this book his major scientific discoveries, his development of new physics consortia and facilities, teaching of undergraduates, mentorship of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and devotion to building collaborations across the US, Europe, and Asia. He has published over a thousand scientific papers and is known for seminal contributions in a variety of important areas in nuclear science. One major discovery has been the co-existence of very different shapes in a single nucleus, once thought impossible and which has led to significant new insights into the fascinating quantum world of the atomic nucleus. Another was the discovery of element 117, as he led the formation of the consortium to perform these difficult measurements and then suggested the name adopted for this new element, Tennessine. This book includes his own summary on a remarkable career and the heartfelt comments of people that have so greatly benefited from his work and partnership. All together, these chapters will show future generations what it means and what is needed to become a great scientist as well as an incredible human being. See more
