CEPS electron resonance lab dedicated in honor of researcher
The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences has dedicated an electron resonance laboratory in memory and honor of researcher John K. Grady, who died of leukemia in January at the age of 42.

Grady, who lived in Somersworth, played key roles in the construction and operation of the specialized instruments found in the lab, which will bear his name. “In many ways, John was the backbone of my lab,” said N.

John left his mark in science, but more importantly, he enriched the lives of all who were fortunate to know him.” (9-19-03) More >>>
