Sjöberg became the Clark Research Professor of Assyriology Emeritus and Curator-in-Charge Emeritus at the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania, in 1996. He had been affiliated with the university since 1966 as a professor and as curator of its Tablets Collections. As the founder of the Pennsylvanian Sumerian Dictionary Project, he continued the tradition of painstaking scholarship established by his predecessor, Dr. Samuel Kramer, as he and others worked to unlock the secrets of an ancient language and civilization that flourished five millennia ago. A native of Sweden, Dr. Sjoberg held a Fil.Dr. degree (1960) and T,eol. Dr. W.C. (1984) from the University of Uppsala.

Robert Solow is one of the major figures of the Neo-Keynesian Synthesis macroeconomics. Together with Paul Samuelson, he formed the core of the M.I.T. economics department which has been widely viewed as the "mainstream" of the post-war period. Together, Solow and Samuelson have contributed to various landmark pieces of work: e.g. on von Neumann growth theory (1953), on capital theory (1956), on linear programming (1958) and on the Phillips Curve (1960). Individually, Robert Solow is best known for his work on the Neoclassical growth model (1956, 1970). He was also one of the co-inventors of the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function (1961) and is responsible for exploring and popularizing the "long-run multiplier" derived from a dynamic government budget constraint (1973). It was Dr. Solow's work on growth that earned him a Nobel Memorial prize in 1987, and he has also been awarded the John Bates Clark Medal (1961) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2014) for his efforts. Robert Solow holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University (1951); since 1949 he has served on the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is presently Institute Professor Emeritus. | |
