The Milton Kerker Endowed
Chair in Colloid
Science was created in 2003 in honor of Professor Emeritus Milton
Kerker, who made an unparalleled contribution in elevating the stature
of Clarkson's School of Science during 42 years of service, from 1949 -
1991. Kerker also served as dean of the Departments of Physics and
Mathematics and launched the Department of Biology at Clarkson. He was
a world-renowned authority on aerosols and light
scattering. Funding
for the chair was provided by an endowment established by the Wallace
H. Coulter Foundation to support colloid research. Clarkson
University
has appointed
Evgeny Katz the Milton Kerker Endowed Professor of
Colloid Science in 2006.
