Here are the Princeton PhD group of 1980. I’m the hairy bearded fellow at right who’s looking the wrong way. My thesis advisor, Ernest Johnson is the suited fellow just left of center. Dave Ollis is in front of me, and Joe Calo is in front of him, etc. Visit my Facebook page to see how my friends tagged themselves. 35 years ago!
Princeton Chemical Engineering Grad-students, late 1970s. My thesis advisor is the tall fellow at center; I’m the bearded fellow at right looking the wrong way.
Dear Sir, I am graduate student at UMass Amherst. I was making the academic family tree and it lead to Prof. Ernest F. Johnson. I have been searching to find out who his advisor was at U.Penn. Kindly, let me know. This is my email ID, aditya.dodda@gmail.com
Thank you,
Aditya
I’m interested in the results of your work, but don’t know the answer to your question. I think he mentioned it, but it was 35 years ago. One thought is to contact the university for a copy of the first few pages of his thesis (university libraries generally keep / kept copies). I’d be interested in seeing what he did his thesis research on too; he taught a few things, but knew quite a bit about most everything. My guess is his expertise was control, that’s what his book is on. At Michigan State, where I went after Princeton, they had an academic family tree for all the chemistry professors. I found it quite interesting. And during my time at Princeton, someone put one together for the students of Neil Amundson (a great educator — many, many of his students went on to do something impressive). Good luck, sorry I can’t be of more help, and I’m interested in the outcome. — RE. Buxbaum
