"Donald. Willis"Bio:
D. Roger Willis, a brilliant engineering analyst, died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) on December 3, 1997. He was born on February 12, 1933, in Sutton, Coldfield, Warwickshire County, England. He attended Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, receiving School Leaving Exhibition Honors in 1950. He then entered Wadham College, Oxford University, where he earned a B.A. (1953) and an M.A. (1957) in mathematics. Roger began graduate studies in aeronautical engineering at Princeton University in 1954, receiving an M.S.E. in 1957 and a Ph.D. in 1959. While at Princeton, he was awarded a Wallace Scholarship, a Guggenheim Scholarship, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. A summary of his thesis appeared in the Proceedings of the First Symposium on Rarefied Gas Dynamics held in Nice, France in 1958 as "Theoretical Solutions to Some Nearly Free Molecular Problems." He continued throughout his career as one of the stars of theoretical rarefied gas dynamics.
