Professor Lowell S. Brown (1934-2023)
Lowell Brown was exceptional theoretical physicist whose work ranged from fundamentals of quantum field theory to precise calculations of line shapes for single ions in a Penning trap, plasma corrections to solar fusion reaction rates, and much more. He joined the UW Physics faculty in 1968 and retired to Santa Fe in 2001. Lowell was an outstanding teacher and author of meticulously crafted papers as well as a textbook on quantum field theory, all of which were models of clarity. He also loved working on his sports cars. Read more about Lowell Brown from the Seattle Times.
Professor Joseph Rothberg (1935-2021)
Joseph Rothberg was an experimental particle physicist who received his Ph.D., studying muon capture in hydrogen, at Columbia University as a student of Leon Lederman. He spent a few years at Yale before joining the University of Washington as a tenured Professor. Much of Joe’s experimental work was carried out at CERN where he was an active member of the ALEPH (LEP) collaboration for many years. Joe joined the ATLAS experiment in the mid 1990’s and made many contributions to the ATLAS muon spectrometer. He was an excellent teacher, beloved by many students.

Archives West Finding Aid
The David Bodansky Papers primarily document his service, from 1992-1996, as chairman of the American Physical Society's Panel on Public Affairs (APS PoPA). This subgroup contains email correspondence, both general and subject specific. Subject series within the PoPA subgroup cover a variety of topics including large files on the conservation of helium resources, the environmental effects of electromagnetic fields, and renewable sources of electricity. Other subject files discuss national defense issues, nuclear waste, and other controversies. Sub-subgroups document sub-committees of the Panel on Public Affairs with which Bodansky was involved, including Media, Steering and Energy and the Environment.
Other subgroups address Bodansky's involvement in UW Committees relating to issues of energy, the physical sciences, science and public policy, and interdisciplinary studies. One large file contains information on the President's Advisory Committee on Cross-Disciplinary Studies.
Bodansky's personal papers contain files related to the courses that he taught at the University of Washington and include notes, both published and unpublished, as well as lesson plans. One subject series file contains information
