Philip J Morris: Some history and professional achievements

Abstract

This introduction contains personal information and a summary of numerous technical achievements of Professor Philip J. Morris, an incredibly talented aeroacoustician and a true gentleman. Phil’s daughter Karen Morris, with the help of her mother Bing Morris, provided the history of Phil’s family and early education. The lead author has been an active research partner for over 30 years and the second author has been a continuing research partner for that long, including his time as Phil’s PhD advisee. The technical contributions made during Phil’s time in Toronto, Canada, and in Georgia and Pennsylvania, USA are sprinkled with personal information to round out his many accomplishments. We hope that this prosopography serves to enhance and contextualize this special journal volume compiled for Phil, an honor that is so richly deserved.
