In 2009 he received the Oliver Lodge Medal of the IET for achievement in Information Technology.
Her paternal grandmother was born Barbara Lodge, youngest of the six daughters of the physicist Sir Oliver Lodge.
British physicist Oliver Lodge demonstrated the existence of Maxwell's waves transmitted along wires in 1887–88.
In 1895, Popov gave the first public demonstration of radio as a tool before the Russian Physical and Chemical Society in St. Petersburg, using Sir Oliver Lodge's coherer as a lightning detector.

Beginning around 1894, Oliver Lodge, Alexander Popov, and Guglielmo Marconi used it in the first historic experiments in radio communication, and it became the basis for radio reception, and remained in widespread use until about 1910.
Along with Oliver Lodge, Oliver Heaviside and Heinrich Hertz, FitzGerald was a leading figure among the group of "Maxwellians" who revised, extended, clarified, and confirmed James Clerk Maxwell's mathematical theories of the electromagnetic field during the late 1870s and the 1880s.
They were used by Hertz to demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves, as predicted by James Maxwell and by Lodge and Marconi in the first research into radio waves.
Richet with Oliver Lodge, Frederic William Henry Myers and Julian Ochorowicz investigated the medium Eusapia Palladino in the summer of 1894 at his house in the Ile Roubaud in the Mediterranean.
Sir Richard Lodge, historian, was a brother of Oliver Lodge and was born in Penkhull in 1855.
