Peter Vaughan Elsmere McClintock was born in Omagh, Northern Ireland, in 17 October, 1940. McClintock is notable for his scientific work on superfluids and stochastic nonlinear dynamics. [IEEE Trans. Circ. & Sys.—II, Vol. 46, No. 9, pp. 1214, 1999.]

Education

He received the B.Sc. degree in physics in 1962 and the D.Sc. degree from Queen’s University, Belfast, Northern Ireland.He completed his D.Phil. at Oxford University in 1966, under Harold Max Rosenberg, with a thesis entitled "Experiments on Spin Phonon Interactions" in the area of paramagnetic crystals at very low temperatures.

Career

He performed postdoctoral research on superfluid helium at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. He joined Lancaster University, UK, in 1968, where he is now a Professor of Physics. His research interests span superfluid helium-4, medical physics, and stochastic nonlinear dynamics.

Honors

McClintock is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.
