Celebrating the Life and Career of Robert F. Hochman Professor Emeritus
On Friday, May 2, 2008 in honor of Dr. Hochman and his 80th birthday, the School of Materials Science &
Engineering hosted an event that not only celebrated his service to students, research, and the School but educated and re-united. As is typical of this beloved professor, the idea for this event was simply to bring
together alumni and share with them the cutting edge research being conducted by both alumni and current faculty. It was an opportunity those of us here at the School could not resist taking advantage of to
recognize Dr. Hochman for his many accomplishments.
In addition to School Chair, Dr. Bob Snyder, providing an overview of MSE research activities, a number of alumni shared their interesting tales of MSE, research and the detours that life so often brings to us. A reception followed the event.
