✦ Synopsis

In connection with designing Cerenkov radiation detectors for high energy experiment, Dr. Winston discovered in 1965 the ideal nonimaging concentrator now called the Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC). He extended the principles of nonimaging concentration to the design of solar collectors in 1973 and has led research groups in Solar Energy at Argonne National Laboratory and at The University of Chicago. Dr. Winston has authored over 100 publications and co-authored (with W. T. Welford) two books, Optics of Nonimaging Concentrators, Academic Press, 1978, and High Collection Nonimaging Optics, Academic Press 1989. He holds 20 U.S. Letter Patents on nonimaging concentration of radiant energy.
