Basil Hiley (1935–2025)

It is with great sadness that we wish to inform you that Professor Basil Hiley passed away peacefully on Saturday the 25th of January at the age of 89.

He will be remembered by many as a great physicist, one who was always willing to follow his intuition while backing up his ideas with a phenomenal knowledge and insight in to physics. He was also a hugely generous person, keen to share his ideas and collaborate with many of us in the department - young and old alike.
