Erich Weigold - Director, Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering

Abstract

This audio interview, with Professor Erich Weigold, is part of the Emeritus Faculty's Oral History Program involving retired staff members of ANU who were part of the university in its earlier life. The Oral History Program was initiated and developed by ANU Emeritus Faculty as a contribution to university and community understanding of the beginnings and development of ANU over the past six decades. Emeritus Faculty has a special interest in this period, since the Faculty's membership includes many of the people who helped shape ANU in those early days, to make it the pre-eminent university it is today. Erich Weigold was Director of the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering at the ANU from 1992 to 2002. As revealed in his CV he also occupied many other positions in his time in both Australia and the USA.
