David W. Green was a graduate student in the laboratory of Max Perutz at the University of Cambridge from 1952 to 1955 and obtained a Ph.D.[1][2] He is known for demonstrating the first use of isomorphous replacement to solve the phase problem in X-ray crystallography.[3]
After completing his Ph.D., Green moved to the Davy-Faraday Research Laboratory at The Royal Institution in autumn 1955.[4]
He was recruited by Linus Pauling[5] but ultimately moved to MIT to work with Alexander Rich.[6] With Rich, Green solved the structure of N-methyluracil.[7] After his postdoctoral work, he returned to the Davy-Faraday Research Laboratory at The Royal Institution in London, England to continue his crystallographic research.[8] Later he moved to the Department of Physics at the University of Edinburgh.[9] In Edinburgh, Green was a senior lecturer and ran a group in solid state physics.[10]
Green died in 1976.[10]
