but considered Groningen to be his hometown.
He obtained his MSc degree in physics and mathematics
and subsequently a PhD degree in the same subjects
from the University of Groningen.
His thesis was based on experimental work
at the Nuclear-physics Accelerator Institute (KVI)
in Groningen.
From 1973 to 1978, Ockels performed an experimental investigations
at the Nuclear Physics Accelerator Institute
in Groningen.
His work concerned the gamma-ray decay
of nuclear systems
directly after formation
and the development of a data-handling system
involving design of electronics and programming
of real-time software.
He also contributed to the design and construction
of position-sensitive charged particle detectors.
While at the K.V.I. Institute,
Wubbo Ockels supervised
the practical work of first-year physics students
at the University of Groningen.
I am his admirer, this is about his postgraduated titles,
Thank you for having read
and having known about Wubbo Ockels now
My great thanks goes to his loyal and beloved family
to have had a father with such great name
and the worldwide fame he has had in his game
added with his honesty, WOW! what a great name
Wubbo Johannes Ockels….full fame in his name
