Dr. Robert Schneider passed away on April 15, 2017. Bob was a longtime faculty member in the Chemistry department, and staff member of
the Office of the Vice President for Research. His student Raymond MacKay earned the
first PhD granted at Stony Brook. Bob continued to teach general chemistry lab courses
well after his retirement, and Joe Lauher has said that we could have charged Bob
money to let him come to work, and he would have gladly paid up. His love for Stony
Brook and for our department was unsurpassed. Bob will be greatly missed.
Bob crafted and ignited the challenge to start the Lauterbur Fund. The fund was designed to promote frontier research for health, environment and energy through chemistry. Bob was a continuous advocate and donor of this fund. In lieu of flowers, Bob's family has requested that donations be sent to the Lauterbur Fund, Stony Brook Foundation Fund #366500.

New Faculty to join in September 2017
Dr. Eszter Boros will join the Chemistry Department as an Assistant Professor this coming Fall.
Dr. Boros obtained her BSc and MSc in inorganic chemistry at the University of Zurich, and received her PhD in radioimaging and inorganic chemistry from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver under Professor Chris Orvig. Subsequently, she worked with Professor Peter Caravan at the AA Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Mass General Hospital in Boston where she is currently an Instructor. Dr. Boros’ research interests span inorganic chemistry and imaging science. She will use the rich structural diversity of metal complexes paired with their versatile luminescent and radioactive properties for the design of new metal-based molecular imaging probes and therapeutics for personalized medicine. Her work will form the basis for understanding cancer, bacterial infection, and lung disorders in humans.
This Thursday, we will officially dedicate the Leaders in Chemistry Wall on the second floor of the Chemistry Building. The celebration will begin at 2 pm.
