Govindjee, 1933-
Eugene Rabinowitch: His life -- primarily based on an interview with him on January 5, 1964 at 1021 West Church, Champaign [sound recording] (mostly in his words).
Based on conversation with Rabinowitch about his life while both were faculty in biophysics at the University of Illinois. Table of contents includes topics on life in the Soviet Union; as a refugee in Poland and Germany; student years and work as a research assistant under James Franck from 1929-1933, and study at Niels Bohr's Institute; work on the Manhattan Project and the Franck Report; reflections on use of the atom bomb in Japan; professorship and research in biophysics at University of Illinois. Govindjee's association with Rabinowitch centered on photosynthesis and Rabinowitch's work on the dissociation of iodine and bromine atoms by light using spectroscopic methods he devised.
Govindjee is Professor of Plant Biology at the University of Illinois.
