During a 36-year career at ����ֱ�� Mississauga and the St. George campus, Dunlop has taught and mentored countless students and early career professionals who have gone on to careers in geological and physical sciences.&nbsp;He has been the sole author of 63 papers and has co-authored more than 150 papers in scholarly journals and books. With his wife, <a href="https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/cps/people/ozden-ozdemir"><b>Özden Özdemir</b></a>, also a physics professor, he co-wrote what would become known as “the bible” in their field, <i>Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers</i></p> <p>&nbsp;“It’s a wonderful life we’ve had,” says Dunlop, who continues to publish research.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/main-news/utm-physics-professor-david-dunlop-wins-top-award-contributions-science">Read the ����ֱ�� Mississauga story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTM</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 24 Sep 2021 14:13:45 +0000 lanthierj 170489 at
