Educated at Ilford County High Schoo! in Essex, he then graduated at the University of Reading with First Class Honours in physics (1951), and a Ph.D. (1961) for his thesis (on scattering and emission of light from quartz and diamond. He worked in the USA at Purdue University as Research Associate for nearly five years. studying the effects of high energy radiation on semiconductors at very low temperatures, which work was published in Physical Review. He returned to England in 1965 to a postin his old department in Reading University and continued work on semiconductors. and organised and subsequently edited the proceedings of the Intemational Conference on Radiation Damage in Semiconductors (1973) ‘As Lecturer in Physics John Whitehouse teaches a variety of topics, ‘often in association with departments of Chemistry and Mathematics. He taught solid state physics and also a course on electromagnetism, which was attended by engineering students and applicable in electronics for physicists. In 1984 he transferred to the Department of Engineering where he added to his teaching courses ‘one on circuit analysis and, more recently, another on digital signal processing. In his present department he has served as Admissions ‘Tutor and is now Examinations Officer. His current research on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stems from his many years of teaching electromagnetism. He was recently named as joint inventor in the patent on a cell of novel design for use in EMC testing (Web page www elec.reading,ac.uk/eme. hl) His pastimes are railway signalling and restoring Indian carpets.
