作者簡介
Bruce Cameron Reed earned his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo (Canada) in 1984. His doctoral work was in observational astronomy, a study of the distribution of stars in the Puppis direction of the Milky Way. Just before formally finishing his graduate work in 1983, he became a faculty member in the Department of Physics at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There he continued to work in observational astronomy, taking up a position as Associate Professor of Physics at Alma College in Michigan in 1992.
At Alma, Cameron began to develop an interest in the history and physics of the Manhattan Project. This grew into his primary research focus, and has resulted in some 90 publications and five books, including three with Springer: The History and Science of the Manhattan Project (now in second edition), The Physics of the Manhattan Project (fourth edition), and Manhattan Project: Story of the Century. He also developed an undergraduate-level general-education class on the Project, and has given a number of related talks and seminars. Overall, he have published eight books and over 200 papers (regular journal papers, review papers, semi-popular articles and essays, and book reviews). Cameron was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2009 in recognition of his work on the Manhattan Project; he served as Editor of the APS's Physics & Society newsletter (2009-13), and as Secretary-Treasurer of the Society's Forum on History of Physics (2013-19).
In 2010 Cameron was appointed one of six Charles A. Dana Professors at Alma, and in 2017 he was named one of several "Alumni of Honour" at Waterloo. He formally retired at the end of 2017 and is now "Charles A. Dana Professor Emeritus." He then returned to the Halifax area, where he continues to teach part-time, publishes papers, and serves as an Associate Editor with the American Journal of Physics.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
布魯斯·卡梅隆·里德(Bruce Cameron Reed)於1984年在加拿大滑鐵盧大學獲得博士學位。他的博士研究專注於觀測天文學,研究銀河系中船尾座方向的恆星分佈。在1983年正式完成研究生學業之前,他成為新斯科舍省哈利法克斯聖瑪麗大學物理系的教職員。在那裡,他繼續從事觀測天文學的研究,並於1992年在密歇根州的阿爾瑪學院擔任物理副教授。
在阿爾瑪學院,卡梅隆開始對曼哈頓計畫的歷史和物理產生興趣。這逐漸成為他的主要研究重點,並導致了約90篇出版物和五本書籍的產出,其中三本與施普林格(Springer)合作出版:曼哈頓計畫的歷史與科學(第二版)、曼哈頓計畫的物理(第四版)以及曼哈頓計畫:世紀的故事。他還開設了一門本科層級的通識教育課程,並進行了多場相關的演講和研討會。總體而言,他已出版八本書和超過200篇論文(包括常規期刊論文、綜述論文、半普及文章和隨筆,以及書評)。卡梅隆於2009年因其在曼哈頓計畫上的工作被選為美國物理學會(APS)會士;他曾擔任APS的《物理與社會》通訊的編輯(2009-2013),以及物理歷史論壇的秘書兼財務(2013-2019)。
在2010年,卡梅隆被任命為阿爾瑪學院的六位查爾斯·A·達納教授之一,並於2017年被評選為滑鐵盧大學的幾位「榮譽校友」之一。他於2017年底正式退休,現在是「查爾斯·A·達納名譽教授」。隨後,他回到哈利法克斯地區,繼續兼職教學、發表論文,並擔任《美國物理學雜誌》的副編輯。
