Klaus Schmidt-Rohr, Professor, received his Diploma in
Physics in 1989, and a Ph.D. "summa cum laude" in 1991, from the
University of Mainz, Germany, working with H. W. Spiess at the
Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research. In 1992, he was a staff
scientist at the Max-Planck Institute and wrote a book on
"Multidimensional Solid-State NMR and Polymers" (with H. W.
Spiess). He then spent two years in the group of Alex Pines at UC
Berkeley, as a postdoctoral fellow of the BASF AG and the German
National Scholarship Foundation. In 1995, he joined the Department
of Polymer Science & Engineering of the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, where in 1997 he was promoted to
Associate Professor. He joined the faculty of ISU in 2000. In
1996, he received the Rudolf-Kaiser Prize from the German Physical
Society, and a Beckman Young Investigator Award from the Arnold and
