Jenifer Haselgrove, the British physicist and computer scientist known for her work on ray tracing in cold magneto-plasmas, died on March 13, 2015, aged 84.
Born Jenifer Leech, she was also known as Jenifer Wheildon Brown and later Jenifer Haselgrove. Her best-known contribution was the formulation of equations that became widely known in radio science as Haselgrove’s equations.
Developed at Cambridge University in the 1950s while she was a student under Kenneth Budden, the work drew on earlier ideas from William Rowan Hamilton and helped shape later study of radio propagation in plasmas, especially in research on the ionosphere and high-frequency communication systems.
