    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    I will retrace Erich Vogt`s career as a science leader in Canada. As one of the influential physicists of his generation and a devoted member of the CAP, he contributed in many ways, always seeking to move Canada at the forefront. I will introduce the many facets of his involvement, but will focus on the nuclear physics aspects leaving the following speakers to fill in on the other achievements.

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Erich Vogt made two major contributions to science in Canada: one, through more than 40 years of teaching, was to inspire generations of students to take up physics; the other was the creation of TRIUMF, where he led the initial funding campaign and later guided its development from a regional to a fully national laboratory with an international reputation. In both cases it was his ability at...

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Erich Vogt had a profound influence on the development of the TRIUMF laboratory and its staff from the time he joined the UBC physics department in 1965 until his last few months. I will describe some of the technical developments that he championed that led to the diverse scientific and technology transfer activities of the laboratory and the support of international subatomic physics.
