Biography

Professor Cohen received a B.Sc. from the American University in Cairo and Ph.D. from Princeton University. After three short postdoctoral and research positions, he joined Cornell University in 1977. Professor Cohen worked to develop a research program at Cornell in the area of polymer characterization that includes light scattering and rheology. Funds supporting this research came from NSF, ACS- Petroleum Research Fund and a consortium of industries. The latter supported a joint program with colleagues from Mechanical Engineering on the subject of injection molding of plastics.
