Donald Bannerman Macleod (21 July 1887 – 8 March 1972) was a New Zealand molecular physicist.
Early life and education
Born at Doyleston, near Christchurch, in 1887,[1] Macleod studied at Canterbury University College, graduating with an MA with first-class honours in chemistry in 1910.[2][3]
Academic career
Following his graduation, Macleod was appointed as a lecturer in physics at Canterbury and worked there until his retirement in 1953 as an associate professor. He had a research collaboration with Professor Coleridge Farr from 1911 to 1936.[4] In 1922 Macleod was awarded a DSc from Canterbury University College.[5]
His work covered the viscosity of sulfur and the internal pressure of liquids.[4]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1935[4] and in 1940 he was awarded the society's Hector Medal for his work in the field of molecular physics.[6]
