Stanley G. Prussin
Professor
B.S. Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960
M.S. Chemistry, University of Michigan, 1962
Ph.D. Chemistry, University of Michigan, 1964
He taught the department’s courses in nuclear physics for applications and shares in the teaching of the Nuclear Instrumentation Laboratory, and the introduction to imaging course. He assisted in the development in the department’s new course in Engineering Science Aspects of Nuclear Medicine.
Prof. Prussin’s research interests were in the areas of low energy nuclear physics, and the use of nuclear methods and instrumentation as solutions of applied problems, with current emphasis on nuclear medicine and allied technologies.
Professor Prussin passed away in August of 2015.
