Dr. Greene has written two texts and published extensively in the field of corrosion, electrochemistry, and medical engineering. Samuel J. HuangDr. Huang received his B.S. in 1958 from the National Taiwan and his Ph.D. in 1964 from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. Prior to joining the Department of Chemistry at University of Connecticut in 1964, Dr. Huang was a Research Associate at the University of Illinois. Dr. Huang has been the Director of the Polymer Science Program at the University of Connecticut. His research interests are synthesis, reactions and lifetimes of high polymers; liquid crystals; biodegradable polymers; high temperature stable polymers; polymers for biomedical applications; organic conductors. Peter KlemchukDr. Kemchuk received his B.S. degree in chemistry from MIT in 1950 and his Ph.D. degree in physical-organic chemistry from Rutgers University in 1957. Dr. Klemchuk retired from CIBA-GEIGY Corporation after 32 years and is now an Adjunct Professor in Polymer Science at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Klmchuk's research interests include stabilization and degradation of polymers, organic reaction mechanisms, photochemistry, plastics recycling and degradable plastics. Uwe KoehnDr. Uwe Koehn received his B.S. from Queens College, CUNY and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in statistics from the University of Illinois. He is presently Professor and Head of Statistics as the University of Connecticut. Dr. Coehn has consulted and taught short courses for many companies. One aspect of his present research seeks to generalize Linear Models to the multivariable measurements which arise in electrical insulation experiments. Robert B. NorthropDr. Northrop received his B.S. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1956, his M.S. in control systems engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1958, and his Ph.D. in physiology in 1964 also from the University of Connecticut.
