Allen J. Bard was born in New York City on December 18, 1933 and grew up and attended public schools there, including the Bronx High School of Science (1948-51). He attended The City College of the College of New York (CCNY) (B.S., 1955) and Harvard University (M.A., 1956, PhD., 1958). He joined the faculty at The University of Texas at Austin (UT) in 1958, and has spent his whole career there. He has been the Hackerman-Welch Regents Chair in Chemistry at UT since 1985. He spent a sabbatical in the CNRS lab of Jean-Michel Savéant in Paris in 1973 and a semester in 1977 at the California Institute of Technology, where he was a Sherman Mills Fairchild Scholar. He was also a Baker lecturer at Cornell University in the spring of 1987 and the Robert Burns Woodward visiting professor at Harvard University in 1988. He has worked as mentor and collaborator with 75 Ph.D students, 17 M.S. students, 150 postdoctoral associates, and numerous visiting scientists. He has published over 900 peer-reviewed research papers and 75 book chapters and other publications, and has received over 23 patents. He has authored three books, Chemical Equilibrium (1966), Electrochemical Methods--Fundamentals and Applications (1980, 2nd Ed., 2001, with L. R. Faulkner), and Integrated Chemical Systems: A Chemical Approach to Nanotechnology (1994). He served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Chemical Society 1982- 2001. Cynthia G. Zoski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at New Mexico State University. Her research interests include electroanalytical chemistry, ultramicroelectrodes, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), electrocatalysis, and sensors based on micro- and nanoelectrode arrays. Dr. Zoski is the coauthor of Electrochemical Methods: Instructor's Solution Manual (with Johna Leddy, Wiley, 2001) and Electrochemical Methods: Student's Solution Manual (with Johna Leddy, Wiley 2002), editor of the Handbook of Electrochemistry (Elsevier, 2007), and author or co-author of over 60 papers and book chapters. Dr. Zoski received the B.S. (1976) degree from Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, M.Sc. (1979) from Trent University, Canada, and Ph.D. (1985) from Queen's University, Canada.
