He proved by example how well such an appointment could work, seeming to give 100% of his effort to each institution.
Chuck's work on photoelectron spectroscopy lay at the border between chemistry and physics. In fact his bachelor's degree from MIT was in chemical engineering, and his PhD from Berkeley was in chemical physics. He then spent almost 20 years as a chemistry professor at the University of Hawaii before taking the Advanced Light Source professorship. His many honors included a Sloan Research Fellowship; election as Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Physical Society and American Vacuum Society (AVS); and the Medard Welch Award of the AVS.
Chuck took great pride in his students and their successes. He remained active in research until the last few weeks of his life, and made sure that his current students would be taken care of after his passing. He will be remembered and missed by students and colleagues alike.
