What better way to prepare for your future than by studying successful chemists who came before you. This will not only show you a career path that someone else has taken, but it will also introduce you to new awards, undiscovered university/college programs and past research collaboration efforts.
Dudley Robert Herschbach, 84, is an American chemist who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Yuan T. Lee and John C. Polanyi in 1986 "for their contributions concerning the dynamics of chemical elementary processes." Since 2003, he was an emeritus professor of science at Harvard University. He is currently on a “perpetual sabbatical” and spends time researching strategies for quantum computation, transformations of electronic structure induced by superintense laser fields, and generic properties of phase transitions in molecular fluids.
Here’s a few fun facts about this award-winning chemist that should encourage you study harder and work harder in the field:
