David J. Lockwood is a Canadian physicist and Principal Research Officer at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). He is also Adjunct Professor at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Editor of the journal Solid State Communications, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Association of Physicists. Dr Lockwood is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the American Physical Society, and the Electrochemical Society.
Early life
Dr Lockwood was inspired to pursue physics at an early age by his Christchurch Boys' High School teacher, Henry (Swanny) Dyer. He subsequently completed a B.Sc. (1964), M.Sc. (1966) and Ph.D. (1969) in Physics at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. His doctoral work, under Professor Alister McLellan, focused on Raman scattering from insulators.[1]
Academic career
Between 1970-71, Dr Lockwood undertook post-doctoral research at the University of Waterloo with Professor Donald Irish, where he investigated the vibrational spectroscopy of solvated cations. He then spent six years as a research fellow at Edinburgh University, looking at the dynamical properties of structural phase transitions and antiferromagnets. These studies culminated in a DSc degree in physics from Edinburgh University (1978).
Research
In 1978, Dr Lockwood moved to Canada to work at the National Research Council, where his continued work on antiferromagnets led to the publication of what would become a seminal book in the field, Light Scattering in Magnetic Solids, co-written with Michael Cottam.[2] He has since turned his attention to the optical properties of superlattices, semiconductor heterostructures, and nanostructures, publishing some 550 papers and 22 books, as well as registering six patents.[3] Dr Lockwood has edited numerous scientific volumes, notably the Nanostructure Science and Technology series, and served on the editorial boards of several journals, such as Low Temperature Physics, Physica E, and Physics in Canada. He has likewise organised international conferences and served on over 50 committees, including within NATO and IUPAP.[4]
