Peter Clarricoats made fundamental contributions as a microwave engineer in the fields of applied electromagnetics for microwave and optical waveguides, and microwave antenna feeds. Peter was also a pioneer of optical fibres, and established the theory of electromagnetic propagation on dielectric and ferrite structures. In the course of this, he discovered that such structures can, under some conditions, support ‘backward waves’ and that guides can propagate complex modes. Over 40 years of his academic career, Peter Clarricoats had numerous notable achievements, including pioneering designs for shaped reflectors, reconfigurable reflectors and especially corrugated horns for microwave antennas. The latter are now universally used in satellite ground stations and in spacecraft. He published what became standard reference texts on corrugated horns for microwave antennas, microwave horns and feeds. He served as vice-president of both the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the International Union of Radio Science, and from 1998 to 2000 was chairman of the Defence Scientific Advisory Council. He was appointed a CBE in 1996. He is the recipient of the 2001 Distinguished Achievement Award of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Antennas and Propagation Society, and in 2015 he received the Sir Frank Whittle Gold Medal from the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Health Impact Assessments

In 2021, the Society of Practitioners of Health Impact Assessment (SOPHIA) celebrates its 10-year anniversary. As part of the celebration, we asked founding SOPHIA members and key SOPHIA leaders to reflect on the organization’s formation in 2011, to share their thoughts on SOPHIA’s key challenges and to highlight important accomplishments. Respondents also weighed in on the future of SOPHIA and the value of SOPHIA membership. Research was conducted using written surveys, interviews, and review of written material. Surveys were sent in July of 2021 to eleven active SOPHIA members, many of whom have served as president, vice president, board member or founding member for SOPHIA. Of the eight survey recipients who were interviewed or completed the written survey, nearly all have been conducting Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) for 10 or more years. Survey respondents’ HIA experience included assessments focused on a variety of policies, projects and programs, including housing, land use, economic security, the built environment, transportation, immigration policies, minimum wage policies, criminal justice and more. This article includes information gleaned through written material review; however, it is largely based on the feedback, insights and experiences shared by survey respondents verbally and in writing.
