James Ring, Ph.D.,
Winslow Professor of Physics, Emeritus
(jring@hamilton.edu)
Ring earned his Ph. D. in Nuclear Physics from the University of
Rochester. His research interests include scattering of pions from
Hydrogen, investigating H-bonded liquids by dielectric costant,
viscosity measurements and by neutron scattering, analyzing low
counting rate experiments for evidence of the validity of Phil Pearle's
continuous spontaneous localization theory, environmental physics such
as Radon dangers, health physics such as nuclear fallout, solar energy
such as our solar classroom and global warming such as the
geochronology of sedimentation in the Antartic Peninsula. His research
has been published in The Physics of Simple Liquids. in Civil Defense: A Choice of Disasters ( book published by the American Institute of Physics), Physical Review, Journal of Chemical Physics, Health Physics, Indoor Air, Energy and Buildings, Environment International and American Journal of Archeology. Ring's accomplishments have given him a listing in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in Technology Today, and in American Men and Women of Science,
as well as a science faculty fellowship from NSF, research grants from
NSF and a prize from The Academy for Educational Development for his
design and execution of The Solar Classroom at Hamilton. More about James Ring ...
