- Nelson W. Taylor Lecture in Materials
Photographing the best Materials Scientists - The Nelson W. Taylor Lecture Series in Materials Science and Engineering honors the memory of Professor Nelson W. Taylor (1869 - 1965) who was head of Penn State’s Department of Ceramics from 1933 - 1943. In 2004, it became my responsibility to photographically document the lecturers. Each year, I have the privilege of photographing the best materials scientists in the country, beginning in 2004 with Dr. Robert Langer, Professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The image of our department depends highly on the image of our faculty - literally and figuratively. Our faculty are international experts in many areas of science and engineering, so it is important our faculty are seen by the world as the great scientists and engineers they are. It has been a proud task of mine to photograph these great people in their environment where they think, work, and change the face of technology and society.Digital Photography, Graphic Design, Photography2011 -
