Angus Ewan Cameron (14 October 1906 - 27 September 1981) was an American chemist known for his work on isotopic enrichment of uranium-235 for the purpose of building atomic bombs and his research on mass spectrometry.
[1] Cameron was born in Sylvania, Pennsylvania and graduated from Oberlin College in 1928 (magna cum laude) and received his PhD from the University of Minnesota in physical chemistry in 1932.
After the war, Cameron continued to work on uranium enrichment using gaseous diffusion and he led the Stable Isotopes Division from 1955 to 1957, before becoming section chief for mass spectrometry (1957 to 1960) and assistant director of the division (1960 to his retirement in 1971).
[1] He was also involved in the development of a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer the Viking Mission to Mars.
[1] Cameron was elected to the International Commission on Atomic Weights (1959-1981) and the IUPAC Mass Spectrometric Evaluation Group and Sub-committee on Assessment of Isotopic Composition.
