Description
Experimental scattering methods, primarily X-ray and neutron, can reveal insight into the structure and dynamics of condensed matter systems, an area in which Professor John White made an enormous contribution over more than five decades. Through his mentoring, guidance and friendship, he helped launch the careers of countless international scientists over multiple (both academic and actual) generations. In the context of (mostly) small-angle scattering, I will offer here my personal reflections on John’s contributions to my own career trajectory which began as his PhD student more than (and quite astonishingly) 30 years ago.
