Timeline
Raoul Kopelman (October 21, 1933 – July 20, 2023 ) was a scientist, inventor, and the Richard Smalley Distinguished University Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Applied Physics, Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Biology at the University of Michigan.
Amongst other accomplishments, he was well known for developing the Hoshen-Kopelman algorithm.
He was also amongst the first scientists pushing to establish the field of nanotechnology.
Kopelman was born in Vienna, Austria, and on April 1, 1939, at the age of 5, he fled with his parents (Josef and Klara-Chaja) from Austria to Jerusalem during the Second World War.
Later, while living in Tel Aviv and in the sixth grade, his science teacher loaned him a German booklet on chemical experiments.
With several other friends he formed a chemistry club, where they performed numerous experiments.
The club included Assa Lifshitz (who went on to become a professor at the department of physical chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Joshua Jortner (who went on to become a professor at the school of chemistry, Tel Aviv University in Tel Aviv, Israel).
With a desire of helping society, he later attended the Israel Institute of Technology to earn his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and his master's degree in chemistry.
He took classes on quantum mechanics with David Bohm and group theory with David Fox.
Kopelman studied under Ralph Halford to earn his PhD in chemistry at Columbia University.
After this, he worked as a lecturer in chemistry at the Israel Institute of Technology and a senior research fellow at the California Institute of Technology with Wilse Robinson.
Kopelman married his late wife Chava Blodek on September 15, 1955.
Together they had three children Orion, Leeron, and Shirli.
In 1966, Kopelman accepted a professorship position in chemistry at the University of Michigan, where he served for 57 years.
As an educator, Kopelman successfully trained many active scientists in the fields of chemistry, biomedical engineering, applied physics and others.
Students of his included Weihong Tan (PhD), Paras N. Prasad (postdoc), and Nobel laureate Richard Smalley (undergraduate researcher).
In his scientific work, he authored over 600 publications, including scientific papers, patents, and books with nearly 30,000 citations.
His publications had an h-index of over 80 (h-indexes of over 60 are considered to be "truly exceptional" ).
