- Derman_Christopherson abstract "Sir Derman Guy Christopherson OBE FRS FREng (6 September 1915 – 7 November 2000) was a British engineering science academic.He was born the son of a clergyman, Derman Christopherson (the vicar of Plumstead in southeast London), and Edith FrancesChristopherson. Soon afterwards, the Christopherson family moved to Porlock in Devon, where his father was vicar of Clovelly. As a boy, Christopherson suffered from asthma. He was educated privately until, at age 14, he was sent to Sherborne School in Dorset.He gained a scholarship at University College, Oxford, initially to read Mathematics. Later, in 1937, he achieved a first class degree in Engineering Science. The following year he went to Harvard University in the USA as a Henry Fellow, gaining an SM masters degree in 1938.He returned to Oxford University as a research assistant to Sir Richard Southwell FRS, working on numerical methods for applied mechanics. He contributed to Southwell's relaxation method. Christopherson was the first to apply the method in the solution of field differential equations, which later became the most important application. He gained his DPhil in 1941.In 1941, during World War II, Christopherson was appointed as a Scientific Officer in the Ministry of Home Security, working in theresearch and experimental department with Sir Reginald Stradling. His work involved investigating the effects of explosives on buildings, shelters, and firefighting (he worked with Solly Zuckerman and Hugh Cairns on researching helmet designs - see Zuckerman helmet).Most of Christopherson's research was conducted at the University of Oxford (1937–41), the University of Cambridge (1945–49), and the University of Leeds (1949–55). He contributed to lubrication research especially. He was a lecturer in engineering at Cambridge. Christopherson was then appointed Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Leeds and became the head of the department in 1949. He left Leeds to become Professor of Applied Science with special reference to Engineering at Imperial College, London until 1960.Christopherson was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1960.He was also a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.He was Vice-Chancellor and Warden of the University of Durham (1960–1979) and then Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge (1978–1985). Derman married Frances Edith Tearle, daughter of James and Martha, in 1940 and they hadfour children; one of his children was the musician, video director and designer Peter Christopherson. His wife pre-deceased him in 1988.He is buried at the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground in Cambridge, with his wife Lady Frances Christopherson who pre-deceased him in 1988.".
