David Shirley has enjoyed a distinguished career as scientist and
administrator, much of it at UC Berkeley/
LBNL. He has also had a close
connection to the Fachbereich Physik, Freie Universität Berlin,
which began when many of the later members of the Fachbereich were
students, guests or scientists in his group. He spent two longer visits at
the Freie Universität, in 1970 and in 1989/90, the latter as a
Humboldt Awardee. Shirley received the first honorary doctorate conferred
by our department, in 1987. His
influence was felt on scientific developments within the department as well
as in setting up user facilities for the larger scientific community. We take pleasure in honoring him with
this symposium on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
