Dr. Arthur Every did his undergraduate studies at the University of the Witwatersrand (BSc - 1962, BSc(hons) - 1963, MSc - 1965) and obtained his Ph.D. in Physics at Reading University in the United Kingdom in 1970. In that year, he joined the University of the Witwatersrand as a lecturer in the Physics Department and, over the years, has progressed to his present position. He has spent periods of up to a year in visiting positions at the Universities of Illinois, Cornell, Oxford, Nottingham, at Goethe University, Frankfurt, and the National Taiwan University. His present research interests cover the broad area of dynamics of solids, with particular focus on the elastodynamic Green's functions of anisotropic solids. He mainly engages in theory and computer simulations, usually working in collaboration with experimental groups. Areas in which he has made his main contributions in recent years are acoustic microscopy, surface Brillouin scattering, transient ultrasonic waves generated by laser, capillary fracture and other forms of excitation, and anisotropy focusing of bulk and surface acoustic waves. Prior to 1990, he worked on ballistic phonon transport and phonon imaging, elucidating many of the structures that are observed in phonon focusing patterns. Professor Every is a member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Ultrasonics, and is a fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa and an Associate of the CSIR. He is a co-author with A. K. McCurdy of the book "Second and Higher Order Elastic Constants", Volume 29A of Landolt Bornstein. He is a recipient of the Reisener Award of the South African Institute of Non-destructive Testing.
