Joseph Grover Gordon II (December 25, 1945 – September 13, 2013) was an American chemist who worked for several companies, including IBM. A graduate of both Harvard and MIT, Gordon spent 33 years working at IBM's Almaden Research Center.[1] Gordon's work was centered around thin films and batteries, and he was credited with 12 patents. Gordon published multiple papers during his lifetime and was honored with multiple awards, including the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers' Percy L. Julian Award.[1]

Early life and family

[edit]

Joseph Gordon II was born on December 25, 1945, in Nashville, Tennessee to Joseph and Juanita (née Tarleton) Gordon.[1] Gordon's mother was a graduate of St. Augustine's College (now St. Augustine's University) who worked as a teacher and as a secretary for the Manhattan Project in the mid-1940s.[1] His father also attended St. Augustine's College, and after a few years in the army, obtained a medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville. The elder Gordon also served in the Korean War.[1]

The Gordons lived in many different places in the United States during Joseph's youth, eventually settling in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Gordon was the eldest of four children; he had two brothers (Eric, born 1947, and Craig, born 1948) and one sister (Rhea, born 1954).[1]

Gordon's father (also named Joseph Gordon) was chief of radiology at Kate Bitting Reynolds Memorial Hospital in Winston-Salem as well as an instructor at Wake Forest University; the elder Gordon helped to integrate North Carolina medical societies during his career.[1][2] There is a scholarship fund named in honor of the elder Gordon at Wake Forest University.[3]

Education

[edit]

Gordon was a talented student, and in the tenth grade was invited to go to Phillips Exeter Academy, a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire. Gordon was one of three Black students in his class of 240, and described the experience as a "culture shock"; nevertheless, he recalled the experience fondly, and participated in several sports.[1] Gordon graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1963.[1]

Upon graduation, Gordon enrolled in Harvard University. Edgar Bright Wilson was Gordon's adviser during his senior year; partially due to Wilson's advice, Gordon decided to pursue graduate work in the field of inorganic chemistry, rather than theoretical chemistry.[1] Gordon earned a B.A. from Harvard in 1966 in physics and chemistry, graduating cum laude.[4][5]

After a summer internship in La Gaude, France, in the summer of 1966, Gordon enrolled in the graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the fall. His advisor was Richard H. Holm.[1] Although initially concentrating in physical chemistry,[1] Gordon earned a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry in 1970.[4][5] Gordon's dissertation was titled "Stereochemistry and mechanisms of intra-molecular rearrangements of tris-chelate complexes".[6] Gordon was also awarded a fellowship from the National Science Foundation during this time.[1]

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Soon after graduation, Gordon was hired at the California Institute of Technology as an assistant professor and researcher.[4] Gordon taught at Cal Tech from 1970 until 1975;[5] however, this time included a brief enlistment in the United States Navy beginning in 1971.[1] Upon his return to Cal Tech in 1972, Gordon was not able to fully revive the research program he began before his enlistment; however, a summer sabbatical at IBM led to an interview and a job offer.[1]

Professional associations and awards

[edit]

Gordon was involved in multiple professional organizations during (and after) his time at IBM, including the American Chemical Society, the National Research Council, the Electrochemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE), and the Society for Analytical Chemistry.[1][4] Gordon was also elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2000.[1][3]

During his career, Gordon was profiled in trade publications such as U.S. Black Engineer, Professional, and Black Enterprise.[7][8][9] Gordon also won multiple awards during his career. In 1993, NOBCChE named him the winner of the Percy L.

Gordon chaired or organized multiple conferences and symposiums during his career, including chairing the Gordon Research Conference on Electrochemistry in 1987[7] and co-organizing symposiums for the Electrochemical Society.[8]

Personal life

[edit]

Gordon married his wife, Ruth, in 1972; they met in Winston-Salem but reconnected during his time at Cal Tech.[1] They had one son, Perry.[4][3]

Gordon died on September 13, 2013, in Morgan Hill, California. He was 67.[4]
