Professor Alfred Anderson is an Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at Case Western Reserve University, where he has served in various academic positions since 1979. His tenure at the Chemistry Department includes roles as Assistant Professor (1979), Associate Professor (1981), and Full Professor (1986). He is also a member of the Case Center for Electrochemical Sciences, founded by Ernest Yeager, and has joint appointments in the Departments of Metallurgy and Ceramics and Chemical Engineering. His academic journey began with an A.B. from Cornell University in June 1964, followed by Ph.D. research under Robert G. Parr at Johns Hopkins University, completed in November 1970. He then held research associate positions with Harrison Shull at Indiana University (August 1971 - September 1972), Roald Hoffmann at Cornell University (September 1972 - September 1974), and Arthur Hubbard at UCSB (August 1977 - January 1979). Additionally, he was a J. W. Gibbs Instructor in Chemistry at Yale University from September 1974 to August 1977. Professor Anderson's research contributions are substantial, with approximately 250 peer-reviewed theory papers published. Around 90 of these papers focus on electrochemistry, while the remainder primarily address surface science, vibrational spectroscopy, and solid state materials science phenomena. His expertise has been recognized through over 100 presentations at national and international conferences, universities, companies, and government laboratories.
