Notre Dame donates 3D printed face shields to medical outlets in need
Professor Emeritus Richard Warren Fessenden died on Tuesday, February 11, 2020
It is with sadness that the NDRL learned of this loss. Dick came to us from the Bushy Run Lab at Carnegie-Mellon University with Bob Schuler in 1976. He continued to make fundamental and significant advances in magnetic resonance and dielectric loss spectroscopies till his retirement in 1999, remaining scientifically active here for another ten years. During his time with us he touched the lives of many colleagues, staff and graduate students.…
