Abstract

I describe some of the science that I have been involved in during the last 60 years and the changes in equipment that made it possible. Starting with an interest in spectroscopy and measurement of NMR parameters, I moved to work on theoretical aspects of spin systems and infrared and Raman line shapes. This morphed into using the new technique of computer simulation to study such problems. The last half of my working life has concentrated on the application of computer simulation to a number of problems culminating in pioneering investigations of the behavior of ionic liquids.
