Robert Artur Waldron (died 24 May 1990 in Ulster)[1] was a British electrical engineer that published research and text books about guided wave communications.
He earned a B.A. at Cambridge University in 1949 and an M.A. from same place in 1959. He had joined Marconi Labs in 1951.[2] He joined the faculty at University of Ulster in Northern Ireland as professor of mathematics in 1973. His obiturian claims Waldron in his research pursued the ballistic theory of light, a competing theory to the Einstein ecosystem in part inspired by the works of Walther Ritz from the early 1900s.[3]
