Brenda Pruden Winnewisser
Brenda Pruden Winnewisser is a scientist and oral historian. She is the wife of Manfred Winnewisser, a professor of physics at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Winnewisser has collaborated on Manfred Winnewisser's research in terahertz science and technology.[1] According to Microsoft Academic Search, she has 122 research publications (as of 2014).[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Winnewisser grew up in Newark, New Jersey and South Orange, New Jersey. She graduated from the Beard School (now Morristown-Beard School) in Orange, New Jersey in 1957. Winnewisser then completed her undergraduate studies at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1961.[3] Her role model at Wellesley, Janet Brown Guernsey, encouraged her to pursue a career in physics. After earning her PhD from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, Winnewisser received a fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.[1]
Oral history projects[edit]
Winnewisser conducts oral history projects on physics pioneers in collaboration with the Center for the History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics in College Park, Maryland.[4] She has published books and other works on Hedwig Kohn,[5] Walter Gordy,[6] and other figures.
