Professor Hardy earned his PhD at Bristol University in England in 1959. He joined UNL in 1966 as a Visiting Associate Professor of Physics. He was an Associate Professor of Physics through 1967 and became a full Professor in 1968. He was a Visiting Scientist at the Lawrence Livermore Lab during the spring of 1976 and 1977. Dr. Hardy was recognized nationally and internationally for his pioneering work in the lattice dynamics and statics of crystalline materials. He was the originator of the "deformation dipole'' model widely used in calculations of the properties of both pure materials and materials containing defects and he has worked extensively on the theory of shock propagation of condensed matter.
