Sunil Saxena

Sunil Saxena received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Cornell University, where he developed two dimensional and double quantum electron spin resonance methodology.  After his PhD, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech where he used solid state NMR to measure dynamics in polymer blends.  In 1999, he joined UC Berkeley as a postdoctoral Fellow.  At Berkeley he gained expertise in optical pumping and SQUID detected ultra-low field MRI methodology.  He started his independent career at University of Pittsburgh, where he rose through the ranks and is currently a Professor of Chemistry.  At Pitt, his research interests focus on the development of Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy and its applications to biophysics, including protein-DNA interactions and metals in biology. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and the Bellet Teaching Excellence Award.

Edward Gerjuoy

Edward “Ed” Gerjuoy received his B.S. from City College in New York and his Ph.D. in theoretical physics under Robert Oppenheimer from the University of California Berkeley in 1942. After graduating, he held several positions, before returning to the University of Pittsburgh as Professor of Theoretical Physics in 1964. He studied law for one year at the University of San Francisco and two years at the University of Pittsburgh, from which he received his law degree in 1977. He served on the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board and was a member and often chair of a number of committees of the American Physical Society.
