A leader in theoretical and physical chemistry, Donald Hornig was born in 1920 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He received his doctoral degree from Harvard University in 1943 and went on to work at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the Los Alamos Laboratory where he conceived and developed a triggered spark-gap switch to initiate the explosive lenses used to set off the implosion in the first plutonium device. Later, Dr. Hornig held teaching positions at Brown University, becoming a full professor at the age of 31, before moving to Princeton University in 1957 as chairman of the Department of Chemistry. In 1964, he was named as the science advisor to President Lyndon Johnson, fulfilling that role until 1969. He had previously served as a science advisor to Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. After a brief term as vice president of Eastman Kodak Company, he returned to Brown as president of the university, serving in that capacity until 1976, when he became President Emeritus. Subsequently he became Professor of Chemistry in the School of Public Health at Harvard University, and from 1987-90, when he retired, he was chairman of the Department of Environmental Health in the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Hornig was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship and the Charles Lathrop Parsons Award of the American Chemical Society as well as a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Donald Hornig died January 21, 2013, at the age of 92, in Providence, Rhode Island. | |
