Wendell Wiggins is a retired physicist. He received a PhD in Physics from The Johns Hopkins University in 1968. He worked in Nuclear Structure Physics using the Coulomb-excited Mossbauer effect to measure the electromagnetic moments of the first excited state of nuclei. In Biophysics he built and used an atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscope to study the structure of biologic molecules--proteins, nuclei acids and membrane structures. In Geophysics he developed methods and computer codes to image large 3D seismic surveys. He served on the faculty of The Johns Hopkins University for thirteen years and worked for Western Geophysical and successor companies for twenty four years.
