About the author
At Alma he began to develop an interest in the history and physics of the Manhattan Project. This grew into his primary research focus, and has resulted in several dozen journal papers, five books (three with Springer, one of which has gone into a third edition), and the teaching of a general-education class on the development of nuclear weapons. Prof. Reed was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2009 in recognition of hiswork on the Manhattan Project, served as Editor of the APS’s Physics & Society newsletter (2009-13), and as Secretary-Treasurer of the Society’s Forum on History of Physics (2013-19).
In 2010 Prof. Reed was appointed one of six Charles A. Dana Professors at Alma, and in 2017 named an “Alumni of Honour” at Waterloo. He formally retired at the end of 2017 and returned to the Halifax area, where he continues to teach part-time, serves as an Associate Editor with the American Journal of Physics, and does occasional consulting work.
