Dr. Armstead joined the faculty of NPS in 1964. He has worked on problems relating the theory of low energy electron-atom scattering. His current interests are in the teaching of physics and in the computer simulation of free-electron lasers.

Alfred Cooper
Emeritus Professor of Physics
Ph.D. Physics, The Queens University of Belfast, 1961

Phone: 831-624-7005, Email: acooper@nps.edu

Dr. Cooper joined the NPS Physics faculty in 1957. He worked in gas discharge and plasma physics, laser technology, laser-target interaction, atmospheric optical propagation and turbulence, infrared system performance and applications in electromagnetic warfare.

Don Walters
Emeritus Professor of Physics
Ph.D. Physics, Kansas State University, 1971

Phone: 831-656-2267, Email: walters@nps.edu

Dr. Walters joined the NPS in 1983. At NPS he has developed and fielded a number of optical, acoustic and micro-thermal probe systems that measure the dynamic turbulent properties of the atmosphere that are being used in critical national programs. He is the author of three requirement documents for military weapons systems currently in service and serves on a number of high level DoD Steering Committees concerned with laser propagation. Prof Walters has advised 51 M.S. and 2 Ph.D. students. He is a member of the APS and OSA.
