Interview with Ronald Pethig
Ronald Pethig · Profiles in Science · 2004
Dr. Pethig holds a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Southampton and another in chemistry from the University of Nottingham. He has been a lecturer in electronic engineering at the University of Wales, Bangor, and has also served as director of the Institute of Molecular and Biomolecular Electronics, and dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering there. His early interest in the electronic properties of biological materials led him to contact Albert Szent-Gyorgyi in 1975, and he became a regular visitor and participant in Szent-Gyorgyi's research projects at the Woods Hole laboratory until Szent-Gyorgyi's death in 1986.
