Subject: Passing of Alexander Sesonske
Arvind, I just noticed in the May 2014 CEP (p. 57) that Alex Sesonke passed away at the age of 93. Alex was a professor in ChE who eventually moved into Nuclear Engineering. He was the co-author of Nuclear Reactor Engineering, which is considered a classic, and Nuclear Engineering recognizes him as the start of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue. Chapter 4 of the big history has more information on Alex.
Regards,
Phil
