This page was created with the kind assistance of the University of Pittsburgh Chemistry Library. The names of Ph.D.s who were mentored by Alexander Lowy and then sent out into the world have all been located. In collaboration with the Department of Chemistry we are learning about these Ph.D.s and how they impacted their scientific field, including major accomplishments. The department plans to have some of this information also appear on a touch screen multimedia device that will eventually hang in the new Alexander Lowy Room in Room 307 of Eberly Hall once it is moved from its present Clapp Hall location. |
