Timeline

1926

Lee Grodzins (born July 10, 1926) is an American professor emeritus of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

After work as a researcher at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Grodzins joined the faculty of MIT, where he taught physics for nearly four decades.

He was also head of R&D for Niton Corporation, which developed devices to detect dangerous contaminants and contraband.

He wrote more than 150 technical papers and holds more than 60 US patents.

Grodzins was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, the son of David Melvin Grodzins and his wife Taube Grodzins, Jewish emigrants, with roots in Poland and Grodno, Belarus.

The family settled in Manchester, New Hampshire.

1946

He graduated with a BS degree in engineering in 1946 from the University of New Hampshire.

He began his career with General Electric as an assistant in the nuclear physics group at their research laboratory in Schenectady, New York.

1954

He earned his PhD in physics at Purdue University in 1954 and taught for a year afterwards at Purdue.

1955

From 1955 to 1958, Grodzins was a researcher with the nuclear physics group at Brookhaven National Laboratory, probing the properties of the nuclei of atoms.

1956

In 1956 he married a biologist whom he met at Brookhaven, Lulu Anderson (1929– 2019).

The same year, together with Maurice Goldhaber and Andrew Sunyar, Grodzins performed an experiment that determined that neutrinos have negative helicity.

This work was important in our understanding of the weak interaction.

1959

Grodzins joined the faculty of the physics department of MIT in 1959 and was a professor of physics there from 1966 to 1998.

1964

He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1964–65 and in 1971–72, and a Senior Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in 1980–81.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

1972

He is a founding member of the Union of Concerned Scientists and was its president in 1972.

1985

In 1985, he carried out the first computer axial tomographic experiment using synchrotron radiation.

1987

Meanwhile, in 1987, he co-founded and led research and development at Niton Corporation, which developed, manufactured and marketed test kits and instruments to measure radon gas in buildings and toxic elements, such as lead.

There he also developed handheld devices that use X-ray fluorescence to determine the composition of metal alloys and to detect other materials.

1998

In 1998, he left MIT to work full-time directing the R&D group at Niton, and in 2005, he and his family sold Niton.

His sister Ethel Grodzins Romm was the President and CEO of Niton, followed by his son Hal.

Grodzins also developed devices to detect explosives, drugs and other contraband in luggage and cargo containers.

Four of his devices earned R&D 100 awards, given annually by R&D Magazine to the 100 most innovative technical products in the US.

Grodzins wrote more than 150 technical papers and holds more than 50 US patents.

He received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Purdue University in 1998.

1999

In 1999, he founded Cornerstones of Science, a public library initiative to help children and adults explore science.

He serves as its president.

MIT named the Lee Grodzins Postdoctoral Fellows Lecture Award for him.

His sister Anne Grodzins Lipow was a librarian and library science expert, and his sister Ethel was an author, project manager, CEO and co-chair of the Lyceum Society of the New York Academy of Sciences.
