David Hinde

Dr Hinde has made original contributions to the understanding of the fusion and fission of heavy nuclei. His development of novel experimental equipment and techniques allowed elucidation of the time-scale involved in heavy ion reactions. Together with measurements, of unrivalled precision, of fusion and fission as a function of energy, angular momentum, mass and charge, his work has led to a significant change in our knowledge of nuclear dynamics. His incisive interpretation of these processes and demonstration that global studies are imperative for a proper understanding, have made him a world leader, and resulted in a re-direction of international research.
