Selwyn Wright
open-in-new
<h2 id="scientific-contributions">Scientific contributions</h2> <p>Responsible for publishing over one hundred archived scientific journal documents and awarded six technology patents, Selwyn Wright was primarily a wave theorist who provided solutions to problems related to power systems, produced in-depth research focusing on sound and vibration technology, and helped advance the development of noise cancellation systems. He most recently re-adapted his classical acoustic wave theories, framing them in a series of publications<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a>[<i>excessive citations</i>] in terms of an electromagnetic theory coupled to a universal electromagnetic reference field. </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://www.southampton.ac.uk/engineering/research/centres/isvr.page?/">ISVR, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research</a> University of Southampton, UK</li> <li><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/science/index.html#.U1aNJFdnCqs%E2%80%8E/">NASA Langley Research Center</a> Hampton, VA</li> <li><a href="http://www.onera.fr/en/">ONERA French Aerospace Laboratory</a> Paris, France</li> <li><a href="http://www.airbushelicopters.com/site/en/ref/Who-We-Are_23-2.html/">Aérospatiale</a> Marseilles, France</li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Rowe, Mark.
