Other Titles

Abstract

To supplement an oral history interview with Professor Ruoff (interviewed by Roald Hoffmann), additional background resources are included: List of publications (cv), and articles that appeared on the Cornell Chronicle and the Engineering Cornell Quarterly.


“Professor Ruoff has dedicated his career to the study of the effect of very high pressure on materials. His research has been marked by many impressive achievements. In 1990 he reached a static pressure of 416 GPa, becoming the first scientist to create a static pressure greater than at the center of the earth, 361 GPa. He has carried out optical studies on diamonds and has obtained x-ray diffraction patterns of tungsten at 560 GPa, the highest static pressure obtained to date. Professor Ruoff has published over 300 scientific publications and has been invited to give talks in 18 countries. He wrote two books on Materials Science published by Prentice Hall in 1972 and 1973, and developed an audio-tutorial course on Introductory Materials Science which has been used in 60 universities.” From MS&E News, May 2006
