Professor Russell Donnelly
has won numerous awards,
including the prestigious
Fritz London Memorial Prize
By Moriah Balingit
Freelance Reporter
Physicist and University Professor
Russell J. Donnelly recently added an
other honor to his lengthy list of ac
complishments with his appointment
to the editorial board of the mathe
matics and physical sciences division
of the Royal Society of London.
Donnelly is also a member of the
National Science Foundation, a Fel
low of the American Physical Society,
and has served on the editorial board
of the Physical Review, a prestigious
physics publication. In 1997, he re
ceived a $5 million grant from the
National Science Foundation to create
a prototype liquid helium flask to
study turbulence and convection, an
idea he told New Scientist he thought
of while biking along the Willamette
River in 1988.
"There is little doubt that my ideas
for cryogenic helium are going to be
very important both for fundamental
research on turbulence and for testing,"
he told Cold Facts, the publication for
the Cryogenic Society of America.
The seasoned physicist has been
working in the field for more than 50
years. He received his Ph.D. from Yale
University in 1956 and worked at the
University of Chicago as an instructor
and professor of physics until 1965.
In 1966 he came to the University and
served as chairman of the physics de
partment until 1972, and again from
1982 to 1983.
Last year, Donnelly won the Fritz
London Memorial Prize, the highest
honor in the world in the field of low
temperature physics.
His position with the Royal Society
of London requires him to support
the society's publication by
submitting his own papers, giving ad
vice and encouraging others in his
field to submit papers.
"I am looking forward to going to
London a couple times a year," he said.
Donnelly also appreciates music
and was in the audience at the first
Oregon Bach Festival.
"I've been active in the Bach Festi
val since the beginning," he said.
Another one of his "side projects"
is a television project based on the
book "Absolute Zero and the Con
quest of Cold," by Tom Shachtman.
The series is slated to appear on PBS,
and Donnelly will be working with
Emmy-award winning producer
David Dugan.
"It's literally cool," he said about
the book, which examines the nature
and history of the concept of cold.
Donnelly received a $2 million
grant from the National Science
Foundation to work on the series but
has to supply matching funds.
"I think an important way of shar
ing it is bringing it to the public with
out all the equations," he said about
the series. "If you know of another
two million bucks I can get a hold of,
let me know."
