understanding of the responses of interstellar media to winds from stars and
from active galaxies. He had a huge influence on these subjects and his work
gained an international reputation. Much of his career was at the University of
Manchester where he became Professor of Astronomy and Head of Astrophysics.
He moved in 1996 to the University of Leeds, becoming Dean of Research, and
was appointed Emeritus Research Professor in 2006.
He died in 2010 and is much missed by friends and colleagues world-wide
who valued his scientific insight, quick wit, kindness and generosity.
David Williams is currently Emeritus Perren Professor of Astronomy at University
College London. While at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in the 1960s he
became interested in interstellar molecules and interstellar dust as potential
probes of the interstellar medium. When John Dyson and David were both
working in Manchester, John emphasised the importance of cosmic gas dynamics
in understanding interstellar chemistry and dust, and David built a research
group at UMIST to investigate these and other topics. He left Manchester in
1994 for UCL and has continued to study problems in interstellar physics and
chemistry.
