Henry G. Booker papers, 1936-1988.
Papers include teaching materials, lecture notes, correspondence, research notes, and manuscripts of writings. Materials cover Booker's years at Cambridge University (1936-1947), Cornell (1948-1964), and highlight his research in ionospheric physics and radiowave propogation, as well as his concerns regarding teaching and campus politics at University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
Ph.D. (ionospheric physics 1936) Cambridge University. Fellow of Christ's College (1935). professor of electrical engineering and engineering physics at Cornell University (1948). After serving as director of Cornell's School of Electrical Engineering and associate director of the Cornell Center for Radiophysics and Space Research, he moved on to the University of California, San Diego to start the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences in 1965. He became emeritus professor of applied physics in 1978 and died in 1988. His research throughout his years at UCSD was concerned with electromagnetism, cold plasma waves, and radio waves.
