We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Emeritus Professor Ward Robinson - a pioneer of the development of computer systems for X-ray crystal structure analysis. Ward is fondly remembered as an outstanding scientist, teacher, and colleague. cinz.nz/posts/obituary-ward-…

Obituary: Ward Thomas Robinson, 22 April 1937 - 9 April 2026

For Ward, crystallography was not just work. It was his hobby and his passion. His patience, enthusiasm and endless assistance to others is a legacy felt around the world.
