Douglas Lampard

Professor Lampard has made distinguished contributions to the theory and applications of engineering science. He has devised a new theorem in electrostatics, making possible a new precision capacitor standard and consequent redetermination of the ohm. He has applied stochastic processes theory to the problems of electrical circuits and communications. Among physiological applications, he has solved difficult problems of automatic multivariate control by digital computers, anaesthesia, artificial ventilation and muscle tone being regulated by several appropriate physiological measurements. He has received the Heaviside Premium (U.K.) and the Sperry Award (U.S.A.) from leading Institutes of Electrical Engineers for the capacitor work.
