Dr WG Brown began his career at the National Research Council in 1954, with the Division of Applied Biology in 1954; he moved on to the Division of Building Research the next year. There, he carried out analytical research on subways and ventilation, on natural convection and on theories of glass strength. With a growing interest in the economic impact of research and development, Dr. Brown joined the NRC's newly-formed Program Planning and Analysis Group in 1969. After a brief stint with the Office of Grants and Scholarship in the early 1970s, he transferred to the Division of Electrical Engineering (Electromagnetic Engineering Section). Here, he conducted mathematical work related to the clock paradox in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. In addition, he also did work related to the economics of the division's projects, became involved in the review of the Canadian High-Energy Electron Ring (CHEER) and conducted research on industrial plasma heating. In 1987, Dr. Brown joined the NRC's Industry Policy Analysis Group in support of the Industrial Research Assistance Program. Following his retirement in 1990, Dr. Brown worked on various contract projects for the NRC until his death in 1994.
