George W. Rayfield (born 1936) is an American physicist and a professor emeritus of the University of Oregon.[1]
Early life and education
The son of George and Hazel (née Wilson) Rayfield, George William Rayfield was born in San Francisco in 1936.[2][3] In 1958 Rayfield finished a B.S. at Stanford; he earned both an M.S and a Ph.D. in 1964 at the University of California, Berkeley,[4] advised by Frederick Reif, with the dissertation, Quantized vortex rings in superfluid helium.[5][6]
Career
In 1967, Rayfield joined the faculty of the University of Oregon as an assistant professor,[5] and was promoted in 1968 to associate professor,[7] specializing in the "application of biological materials to electronic devices".[8] He was awarded professor emeritus status in 1999.[9]
