He chaired his still-successful and fully enrolled department for 21 years, with time out to work with the U.S. Department of Energy to direct the solar energy applications programs for the western United States. In 1991 Dr. Aitken left his academic work to serve for 11 years as Senior Staff Scientist for Renewable Energy Policy and Economics with the national organization The Union of Concerned Scientists. Dr. Aitken and his wife, Barbara Harwood, also serve jointly on the faculty of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture.
