Ernest Coleman 1942 ~ 1990 Physics Research Ernest Coleman has directed high energy physics research at three Federal agencies; the Atomic Energy Commission, the Energy Research and Development Administration, and the Department of Energy. Coleman, a Phi Beta Kappa student at the University of Michigan, received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees there. After graduation he was awarded a year's research fellowship in high energy physics by the German Government and studied in Hamburg. Upon his return to the United States, Coleman taught at the University of Minnesota, first as Assistant Professor of Physics and then as Associate Professor. During a year as visiting Professor at Stanford University he became director of the summer science program for gifted disadvantaged college students. He has continued to head this program and has brought highly motivated and able students into the field of physics. For his contributions to physics education, particularly for disadvantage students, and for his contributions to physics research and its applications in education, Coleman received the Distinguished Service Award of the American Association of Physics Teachers. |
