Emil Roduner

I first graduated to become an elementary school teacher and worked teaching 1st to 6th grade before entering the University of Zürich to study chemistry. As an exchange student I obtained a Masters in Chemistry (1975) at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. I then returned to pursue my PhD degree. For my work on developing the muon spin resonance technique to detect and study muon substituted free radicals I was awarded the Werner Prize (1989). in 1995 I accepted a chair in Physical Chemistry at the University of Stuttgart. After my formal retirement (2012) I accepted a part-time post-retirement position at the University of Pretoria.
