Phenomenology
of Nuclear Reactions
As one of the pioneers
in the study of preequilibrium nuclear reactions, Dr. Walker has been active
in this field for 40 years, developing simple phenomenological models to
describe these reactions. Her computer code PRECO has evolved over this time
and has been used around the world in both basic and applied research. Her research is conducted at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory
and constitutes the TUNL Program on Nuclear Reaction
Phenomenology.
Christianity
and Science
Having become a
Christian in 1975, Dr. Walker has thought carefully about the relationship
between the findings of science and the message of the Bible. She has given
talks on the subject to student and church groups, sometimes in partnership
with her husband, William D. Walker. She has also written a 14,000 word
booklet entitled The
Heart and Hand of God: Perspectives on Christianity and Science, to
which her husband contributed. This
booklet is being translated into French.
Writings
of Adolphe Monod
Adolphe Monod
(1802-1856) was a renowned evangelical preacher in France and Switzerland.
Dr. Walker has translated his most famous work, Les Adieux, into English, editing the text to make it flow more
naturally to a modern reader. This
work was published in 2002 under the title Living in the Hope of Glory
(Phillipsburg: P&R
Publishing). She is also the principle editor of a new French edition of Les Adieux (Cléon
d’Andran: Éditions Excelsis / Aix-en-Provence: Éditions Kérygma) appearing in
2006, the book’s sesquicentennial.
More recently, she has compiled seven of Monod’s classic sermons into
a volume entitled An Undivided Love, translating and editing the
text. This work was published in 2009
by Solid Ground
Christian Books.
