Experimental particle physicist Ian Shipsey, a remarkable leader and individual, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in Oxford on 7 October. Ian was educated at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Edinburgh, where he earned his PhD in 1986 for his work on the NA31 experiment at CERN. Moving to the US, he joined Syracuse as a post-doc and then became a faculty member at Purdue, where, in 2007, he was elected Julian Schwinger Distinguished Professor of Physics.
