Timeline
Duffin obtained a BSc in physics at the University of Illinois, where he was elected to Sigma Xi in 1932.
He stayed at Illinois for his PhD, which was advised by Harold Mott-Smith and David Bourgin, producing a thesis entitled Galvanomagnetic and Thermomagnetic Phenomena (1935).
Duffin lectured at Purdue University and Illinois before joining the Carnegie Institute in Washington, D.C. during World War II.
His wartime work was devoted to the development of navigational equipment and mine detectors.
In 1946, he became professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University.
He wrote a letter of recommendation
to Princeton University for John Forbes Nash, Jr., later a Nobel laureate.
In 1949, Duffin and his student Raoul Bott developed a generalized method of synthesising networks without transformers which were required in earlier methods.
In 1967 Duffin joined with Clarence Zener and Elmor Peterson to write Geometric Programming which developed a branch of mathematical programming by introducing a generalization of polynomials to posynomials for engineering applications.
Impressed with its innovations, a reviewer wrote, "common sense, ingenuity and originality in applying first principles are still competitive with other creative forms of the intellect."
The methods of geometric programming are sometimes adapted for convex optimization.
Duffin was inducted to the National Academy of Sciences in 1972 and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1984.
He was joint winner of the 1982 John von Neumann Theory Prize, and winner of Sigma Xi's Monie A. Ferst Award for 1984 in recognition of his ability as a teacher and communicator.
Duffin would remain at Carnegie Mellon until his retirement in 1988.
Duffin was also a consultant to Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
Richard James Duffin (1909 – October 29, 1996) was an American physicist, known for his contributions to electrical transmission theory and to the development of geometric programming and other areas within operations research.
He was elected to the 2002 class of Fellows of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.
