Michael Woolfson Michael Woolfson Michael Mark Woolfson (born 9 January 1927) is a British physicist and planetary scientist. His research interests lie in the fields of x-ray crystallography, biophysics and the formation of stars and planets. He was educated at Jesus College, Oxford and received his PhD from UMIST. He was a research assistant at UMIST 1950-52 and at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, 1952-54. He was an ICI Fellow, University of Cambridge, 1954-55. At UMIST he was a lecturer, 1955–61, and a Reader, 1961-65. He was Professor of Theoretical Physics, 1965-94 University of York and head of the Department of Physics,
Departments of the ITMO University cardiac devices, and wide-angle lenses are among some of the major achievements of this faculty. In 1934, the first scientific research laboratory was set up as part of the Department of Optical Glass Technology. The lab was useful in developing methods that eventually relieved the country from importing costly abrasives from the United States. By order of the dated 5 May 1946, the Faculty of Physics and Engineering prepared specialists in the area of physical optics, electronics, medical imaging and nucleur physics. During the period from 1946 to 1955, there were six graduations, the first one in 1950 with 24
