Eric Ash is an electrical engineer who specialized primarily in electron optics and ultrasonics. He received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Imperial College in 1948 and a Doctor in Science degree from Imperial in 1952, working with Denis Gabor. After a Fulbright fellowship at Stanford he returned to London in 1954 and did research on microwave tubes and acousto-electronics at the Standard Telecommunications Laboratory. In 1963 he became a professor of electrical engineering at University College London, and in 1985 he became Rector of Imperial College. The Engineering and Technology History Wiki holds an oral history interview with him recorded when he was retired from that post.
