Guy Kendall White AM FAA (1925–2018) was an Australian physicist who specialised in low-temperature physics.[1]
In the 1940s, White was part of what has been described as "the elite cryogenics group of doctorate researchers" at the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University.[2]
White served as the chief research scientist of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) from 1969 to 1990.[1]
In 1959, White published his textbook Experimental Techniques in Low-Temperature Physics.[3] This book has been described in 2023 as "still the go-to text" in this field.[4]
White was awarded the David Syme Research Prize by the University of Melbourne in 1966. He was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1970.[5]
In 2000, White was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the General Division for his contributions to physics.[6]
