As a pioneer of electron diffraction, Moodie played a vital role in the theoretical and experimental developments that revolutionised the fields of electron diffraction and microscopy of crystals. He made important contributions to the initial formulation of a complete n-bean theory of electron diffraction and the computing methods permitting its application to practical problems in solid-state physics and chemistry. Moodie was the first ever recipient (co-winner) of the Ewald Prize from the International Union of Applied Crystallography. The prize was awarded to Moodie because of his "outstanding achievements in electron diffraction and microscopy, especially for their fundamental contributions to the theory and technique of direct imaging of crystal structures and structure defects by high resolution electron microscopy". 1948 Career position - Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) Division of Chemical Physics, Victoria 1948 1948 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), St Andrews University, Scotland 1970 1979 Career position - Member, National Committee for Crystallography, Australian Academy of Science 1973 2018 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 1979 1983 Career position - Chairman, National Committee for Crystallography, Australian Academy of Science 1988 1988 Award - Ewald Prize, International Union of Applied Crystallography Australian Academy of Science (1954 - )
