Employment: (since graduation)

During 1977-78, I was on an exchange with Ahmadu Bello University, in Nigeria. I have had three sabbaticals: the first (1982-83) was spent at the Schweizerische Institut für Nuklearforschung in Villigen, Switzerland. The second (1989-90) was divided between the University of Edinburgh and C.E.R.N., Geneva. The final sabbatical was spent principally in Ottawa. In addition, in 2002-03 I had a one-year administrative leave, principally spent at Oxford.

Undergraduate Teaching Experience

While a post-graduate student and a post-doctoral fellow at Oxford, I gave tutorials to undergraduates in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. I also gave a graduate lecture course at Durham. While at Ahmadu Bello University I taught courses on optics and both introductory and advanced nuclear physics. In addition to those listed below, I have given special courses on behalf of the C.E.S.L. (now C.A.L.S.) The first, in 1976, was to a group of Venezuelan students, the second (1983) to Libyan students.Courses given (or to be given) at Carleton:

Teaching Innovation

In 1976-77 I was responsible for a group of Venezuelan students under a special arrangement (The Ayacucho Project). This involved co-ordinating various aspects of their scientific and linguistic education, teaching of a special course designed to improve scientific English and an introductory science course.

While at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria, I was involved in the writing of a high school physics text, and the planning of a Nuclear Physics M.Sc. course. The book was not published because of the deterioration of the Nigerian economy.

During 1985, I introduced a seminar program for undergraduate students (the "Brown Bag Talks") , given weekly by members of the Department. This was repeated in 1990/91, and subsequently televised on ITV channel. Although these have been successful in attracting a reasonable audience, they failed in their primary goal of attracting undergraduates.

In more formal aspects of teaching, I wrote the laboratory manual for 75.010, and changed the course so that it made some reference to physics of the last three hundred years. This course was finally discontinued due declining enrollment in 1990.

With Dan Kessler, a course on Astronomy and Astrophysics, (75.220; originally 75.120) was developed from scratch. I have recently taken this course over again, and developed a multimedia presentation for it. This integrates graphic material with animations of various kinds into an "electronic blackboard" presentation, which is now available to students outside of the lectures.

In 1988/89, Michael Ogg and I introduced a course in Computational Physics (75.502), which has now become part of the regular program. Although obviously modeled on similar courses elsewhere, this took into account our special interests at Carleton and is not only an introduction to computing facilities in the department but also tailored to be suited to high energy physicists and medical physicists.

Pat Kalyniak and I developed a quite new style of course as 75.298 (Research in Physics). Our starting point was the observation that all courses given in physics are of a very traditional form, consisting of lectures where the material is factual and imparted in a very linear fashion, and include almost nothing of the culture and history of physics. This course looks at how research in physics was (or is) done in practice. Although the response was very enthusiastic from the students who took the course, the numbers were small, and it is an experiment which cannot be continued under present constraints.

In 1991 a proposal was put forward for a B. A. program in Environmental Studies. In its original form, this contained no compulsory courses in science whatever. Since this seemed inappropriate, a committee, consisting of Peter Kruus, Ildi Munro and George Carmody and myself, was asked to design a course for students with no previous experience in science whatever. The resulting course, 60.100, (Science for Survival, subsequently renamed Science for Today) has been taught to well over 1000 students in three years and has fulfilled its major purpose. It is amusing to note that in the first year of the course we carried out a "value added" experiment: we used a 12 question test to evaluate the student's prior knowledge of science in September, and, without warning, used the identical questions on the final exam. The average mark obtained on this rose from 3 at the beginning to 8.5 at the end!

In 1995 I was asked to suggest and design a science course (02.410), for the fourth year of the "Bachelor of the Humanities" program. This course uses some areas of physics as a model for the study of science as a whole. In particular it looks at controversial ideas, with the intention of showing how the culture of a period in history and the scientific discoveries of the time have an often symbiotic relationship.

Experience from this course has led to the design of a new course, PHYS 2903, Physics and the Imagination. This explores the interaction between Physics and Culture, in the broadest sense. The calendar description reads: "Physics has had a profound influence on music, philosophy, literature, film, and art. This is examined in a conceptual, non-technical, manner. A selection of topics will be studied." For example, one segment looks at time: time as perceived, the measurement of time, time in 20th century physics and the ideas of curved spaces, time in literature and film and finally the limits to prediction. A survey of opinions showed that all the students would recommend the course to others.

Technology Enhanced Learning.

In summer 1991, Alfred Carter and I prepared a version of 75.105 for broadcasting over the instructional television network. Although the course content is fairly standard, I felt that simply filming live lectures using conventional blackboard or overhead projector techniques seemed badly suited to the medium. Again the "electronic blackboard" technique allows the inclusion of a good deal of animation, as well as the guarantee that no (or very few!) mistakes will appear on screen. Informal feedback from students has been very positive. This work has received wider circulation in a somewhat unexpected fashion: in 1997 we were approached by the World Bank to allow this course to become part of the African Virtual University, and the course was broadcast 3 times, to a number of sites throughout Africa. Undoubtedly the most interesting part has been delivering live tutorials to sites as diverse as Addis Ababa, Kumasi and Dar Es Salaam.

As an outcome of serving on a committee (in 1991) on helping first-year students overcome their difficulties, I became very interested in computer assisted learning. An examination of currently available packages from commercial companies or outside universities suggested that they all had serious deficiencies. I therefore led the development of a flexible tutorial system, known as CATaMac. The idea behind this was to provide a large number of typical problems in a rapidly accessible form for first year students. It evolved and grew over the years, and provided a continuous on-line testing facility (TestaMac) in addition to the tutorials. Unlike many similar systems, we made a serious effort to evaluate student response to the system, via Steven Macko, a graduate student in psychology. A demonstration version of CATaMac was included on the "The Innovators CD". This CD-ROM is a collection of some 40 projects put together by Apple Canada to show the diverse applications of computers in education, at all levels from kindergarten to graduate. Over the last two years, the system has been made obsolete by Web-based methods, which we have incorporated into the curriculum.

My work on computer-assisted teaching of various kinds has aroused some interest in the physics community and elsewhere. This has led to a number of invited talks or short presentations including being a (remote) part of a panel discussion on the "Technology and Education" day put on by the Instructional Development Centre at Queens University, and meeting with members of RMC to advise on setting up CAL there.I have also given talks at EOSET and OAPT meetings. I served as chair of the Division of Physics Education of the C.A.P. in 1995.

High School Interactions

I have always regarded it as extremely important to do as much work as possible with high schools, since our future students depend vitally on the image that Carleton projects in the school system. I have given more than 20 high school talks over the years, including ones at special enrichment days for the West Quebec Board and the Belleville Board. I have also given several talks to local high-school teachers, and was instrumental in arranging for the conference of the Ontario Association of Physics Teachers annual meeting to be held here in 1993.

Intermittently since 1983 I have been involved with mini-courses for high-school students. The first one was entitled "Life, the Universe and Everything" and taught by various members of the Department: it covered a wide variety of topics in pure and applied physics. This was continued by other members of the department for some years. I subsequently taught my own course "Science and the Imagination". This was a much more off-beat course, in which I examined a number of very controversial ideas (such as Velikovsky, telepathy and cold fusion) in order to try to reach some conclusions on how science works in practice. This was given in 1986,1987, 1988 and 1989. In 1991, in response to suggestions from the high schools, Pat Kalyniak and I introduced a mini-course called "Yes, No and Maybe: Why Quantum Mechanics Makes it Reasonable to be Uncertain". This was a more or less conventional introduction to quantum mechanics. Student response to these courses has been very favourable: for example in 1989, 75 % rated their enjoyment of the course and 85% rated the level of learning as high or very high. Pressure of other work has prevented me from offering mini-courses in the last few years, but I intend to do so again in the future.

Most recently I gave a talk at a teachers workshop at the CAP conference in Saskatoon.

Other Educational Activities:

I have given a number of popular talks, mainly on Astronomy and Cosmology to adult clubs and students in the Ottawa area, and several interviews on the radio, mainly on CBO and CKCU. In collaboration with Richard Hemingway, I prepared a six-part television series on "The Basis of Matter", which was produced for CTV. and shown as part of The University of the Air series in 1982 with a repeat in 1983. I was part of the Carleton University "Raven Lunatics" team for the @Discovery.ca quiz in 1995.

LinR: Recently I have been approached to give a course to the Carleton LinR (Learning in Retirement) program. I gave a series of six lectures entitled "The Rise and Fall of Everything" starting in January 2005.

I have written a number of book reviews, for Physics in Canada, New Scientist and the Ottawa Citizen, and have had two lengthy articles (on science policy and on physics and reality) published in the Citizen.

Administrative Duties

Administrative Duties in Physics:

From 1986-1989 I was director of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Physics, which combines the research interests of the Ottawa and Carleton Physics departments into a single program. This involved coordinating the activities of the two universities, making presentations on the research and so on. During this period the Institute received its first successful appraisal by the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies. I was also Associate Chair for Graduate Studies.

From 1st July 1990 to 30 June 1996, I was chair of the Carleton University Physics Dept.: the position was renewed for a second three-year term in 1993. During this time I was responsible for the day-to-day running of the department, including representing it at all levels both inside the university and outside. I have been responsible for a number of innovations, including the extensive use of computer-assisted tutorials for first year students, introduction of new courses in computational physics and research in physics. During this time first year course enrollment increased from 700 to 1100, and graduate student enrollment from 24 to 39. Particularly satisfying was a survey performed by the Institute of Scientific Information in Pittsburgh, which rated the department second in Canada in terms of the influence of research publications.

Most recently (2007) I have been Undergraduate Adviser.

Dean of Science

From 1st Oct 1996 until 2003 I was Dean of Science. This involved overseeing the activities of 110 faculty members in 6 units, involving 1700 undergraduate students, 270 graduate students and over 14000 student courses and administering a budget of approximately M$12. During this time, the faculty underwent a number of changes.
  1. Budget reductions. The most difficult problem that I had to face was the budget reductions to all the Ontario universities of approximately 15% in 1996/97. This fed through into a budget reduction in the faculty of approximately M$1.5, or 11%: this included a number of non-replaced retirements. Coming after a number of years of constraint, this led to very difficult situation. We were able to meet it partly by a reduction in the number of programs offered, which implied a reduction in the number of support staff. This led, inevitably, to a good deal of friction: I would like to believe that this was kept to a minimum.
  2. ATOP. The Access to Opportunities program was a new program introduced by Ontario to direct extra funding into strategically important areas in information technology. We were able to produce a coordinated plan for the faculty, which eventually saw roughly half of the students in the faculty being included in ATOP programs. This has made for a very considerable increase in the funding coming to the university: roughly M$2 in operational funding and M$4 in capital funding.
  3. Infrastructure/Double Cohort. The so-called Double Cohort of incoming students arrived in 2003. This involved a great deal of advance planning: initially the critical area was physical plant. The Tory building, originally housing Earth Sciences and Biology, was the oldest building on campus and in a serious state of disrepair. As a major part of strategic plan for the Faculty, we committed to a new building plan with an associated cost of approximately M$35. This resulted in the construction and commissioning of a new Biology building (the Nesbitt building), major renovations to the Herzberg and Steacie buildings and finally the complete renovation of the Tory building.
  4. New Programs. There were a number of new ideas that come forward that I both strongly supported and helped to put into practice. These included:
    1. Computational Sciences: this is a package of new programs tying in experimental science and computer science. Undoubtedly the most exciting is Bioinformatics, where the undergraduate program at Carleton is a first in Canada, but the suite includes Biodiversity, Computational Biochemistry, Computational Geophysics and Computational Chemistry. These programs were included under ATOP.
    2. Certificate in Software Engineering: this is a very intensive retraining program offered to graduates in any Sciences or Engineering discipline. It allows graduates to achieve a level almost equivalent to that of 3-year Computer Science degree in 5 months.
    3. First-year seminars in Science: open to all students in the program. This is intended to overcome the well know problems of alienation in first year, as well as lack of communication skills.
  5. External funding: Three areas have been successful are funding by TRIUMF for 2.5 faculty positions in Physics, NSERC chairs in Polymer Chemistry, Fungal Microbiology and Parallel Computing, and a linkage with the Canadian Museum of Nature. The Faculty has also appointed 4 Canada Research Chairs, with 5 more to come over the next 3 years.

Research Activities

I have worked in a variety of fields of theoretical physics. These include:

  1. Dispersion Relations. The principal topic of my Ph. D. thesis was partial wave dispersion relations.
  2. Quark models. Sundaresan and I made the first relativistic calculation of bound states in a quark model, using the Bethe-Salpeter equation. This led to a series of papers by Mitra and collaborators, which developed the ideas into a workable phenomenology. I later worked on meson phenomenology and the consequences of QCD for low energy nuclear physics, in particular hadronic states inside nuclear matter. Most recently I have been looking at hybrid states in collaboration with Frank Close.
  3. Muonic atoms. The theory of muonic atoms relies on QED, but in a rather different regime from where it is normally tested. For some years there was a discrepancy between theory and experiment. The work done with Sundaresan was the first to find a serious mistake in earlier theory, but still left an irreducible discrepancy. This was ultimately cleared up through a further experiment by Carleton-NRC group performed at SREL. Techniques developed in the muonic atom calculations were useful in problems with other exotic atoms: in particular one of these led to the best determination (for the time) of the pion mass .
  4. Higgs Phenomenology: The muonic atom discrepancy led to the suggestion that it could be due to the Higgs interaction: at the time there were no limits on the Higgs mass, and there was the possibility that it could be very light. This led to the first paper on Higgs phenomenology, which has been widely quoted , and in particular was first to calculate the two-photon decay of the Higgs. It also led to a direct experimental search for the Higgs in 0+ -> 0+ nuclear transitions. Subsequent work looked at muon-number violating effects in the Higgs sector.
  5. Broken Colour models. It has usually been assumed that the breaking of SU(3) colour symmetry lead to free quarks. This is not correct. An intriguing problem, which led to a considerable speculation, was the apparent observation of anomalous nuclei. In a series of papers with various collaborators, I looked at various aspects of the problem, including models based on broken colour. One of these, in particular, predicted that there would be non-colour singlet, integrally charged states of nuclei that could be observed in light nuclei, such as the deuteron. . This led ultimately to an experimental search, with negative results, which helped to disprove the original observations. Another possibility is that, even though quarks are confined, gluons could be unconfined, and would be observable in LEP experiments. The phenomenology of free gluons is quite distinctive, and lead to specific predictions which allow a search to be made. This was done at OPAL , in 1991, with (needless to say) negative results.
  6. Nuclear Matter: Traditional nuclear physics has never provided a satisfactory model for nuclear matter, since it relies on a very large number of somewhat ad-hoc interactions. In principle one should be able to perform the calculation in a purely QCD-based formulation. The calculations was partly successful in that it predicts the increase in nuclear size which is usually understood to be the explanation of the EMC effect, however, it does not predict nuclear binding correctly. It offers intriguing hints that there may be phenomena in nuclei that can be predicted on the basis of quark models but cannot be understood on the basis of conventional nucleon-based models. These include the possibility of distorted nucleons, modified magnetic moments in nuclear matter and the analog of a liquid crystal phase in very dense nuclear matter.
  7. Neutrino phenomenology. An attempt to find a manner in which the neutrino mass could be measured led to a prediction of an effect which arises because of the resonant exchange of neutrinos. This has clear and remarkable physical consequences that nuclei connected by a b-decay can exchange positions in space. An interesting possibility is that apparently empty space could be optically active, (in the same sense as a sugar molecule), arising from a neutrino sea. Regrettably the effect lies well below the current level of observability. Recently I have been examining limits on non-standard neutrino interactions and looking at possible candidates for the high energy cosmic radiation observed from Cygnus X-3, and observational aspects of superconducting cosmic strings.
  8. Applied Projects. The requirement of high fluxes of stopped particles from intermediate energy accelerators (such as TRIUMF) led to the concept of the Slowdownatron. Another idea led to the construction of a device to measure the rate of heat flow through the wall of a house (the Insulometer). Although the device worked, it was not sufficiently reliable to be a marketable idea. I have worked on a liquid filled electrostatic motor, and have written extensive programs to optimize the design. I have supervised some work by students on modeling hyperthermia treatment in medical physics.
  9. The Bouncing Neutron. Ultra-cold neutrons are totally reflected from certain metals. This implies the existence of a quantised "bouncing neutron" system, with some most unusual properties. It was first observed by Valery Nesvizhevsky (Nature 415,297 (2002).) The ground state has an energy E0 = 1.4x10-12 eV and a "bounce height" (the equivalent of a Bohr radius) of 13.7μ. Besides the obvious intrinsic interest of such an unusual state, there is the possibility of using it to set a better limit on the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM), which is a well-known test of time-reversal invariance, and investigating the short distance behavour of gravity. To perform systematic experiments, the lowest state must be isolated. An interesting possibility is the "quantum centrifuge" which appears to allow neutrons in the ground state to be isolated from all other states.
  10. SNO: I am currently a member of the SNO collaboration, where my principle interest is in possible neutrino signals fo astrophysical sources such as γ-ray bursters and pulsars.
Much of the above work has been in collaboration, chiefly with Professors E. J. Squires, M. K. Sundaresan, L. A. Copley, W. J. Romo, R. L. Clarke and G. Karl.
