As a part of an NSF-funded STEM project in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Prof. Joe Natowitz from TAMU College Station will present a lecture on "Heavy element searches through fusion and alternative reactions " in Science 103 from 9:30-10:45am.  He will also have an informal chat with NSF scholarship recipients in Chemistry and Physics at Starbucks in the library from 3-4pm.


Prof. Natowitz received his bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1958 from the

University of Florida, where he was a Winn-Lovett Undergraduate Fellow. He also

obtained a certificate in meteorology in 1959 from the University of California at Los

Angeles. He then served three years as a lieutenant and staff meteorologist in the United

States Air Force prior to earning his doctorate in nuclear chemistry in 1965 from the

University of Pittsburgh. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the State University of New York

(SUNY) at Stony Brook from 1965-67 before joining Texas A&M University.

Before becoming an emeritus Distinguished Professor, Joe was the inaugural holder of

the Bright Chair in Nuclear Science and a Distinguished Professor at Texas A&M

University. He served as Head of the Department of Chemistry from 1982-85 and Director

of the Cyclotron Institute from 1991 through 2002. He is recognized as one of the world's

most prominent nuclear chemists and a leading expert in the field of nuclear reaction

dynamics and properties of hot nuclei. His research has been recognized internationally

by being elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (1981), a Fellow of the

American Chemistry Society (2010), awarded the American Chemical Society’s Award in

Nuclear Chemistry (1995) and Southwest Regional Award (2000), as well as an Alexander

von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award (1978) and an Association of Former Students

Research award from Texas A&M University (1988).
