Ph.D. Hooding Ceremony and Reception PH.D. HOODING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2017, 5:30 P.M. DURHAM CONVENTION CENTER DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA What Graduate Students Mean to Duke Congratulations to the 2017 Ph.D. candidates! As soon-to-be alumni of the Duke University Graduate School, they represent a powerful legacy. Since the establishment of the school in 1926, graduate students have been the intellectual glue of our community. They push academic boundaries, offer fresh perspectives in research approaches, and give voice to emerging fields. To echo James B. Duke’s founding Indenture of Duke University, students and alumni of The Graduate School are individuals of “outstanding character, ability and vision” who pursue “those areas of teaching and scholarship that would most help to develop our resources, increase our wisdom, and promote hu- man happiness.”1 The Duke Graduate School has garnered an international reputation for excellence in research, teaching, and service, and its graduate students, as much as anyone, have contributed to the prominence that the university enjoys today.

Gergen, Ph.D. The Graduate School Distinguished Alumni Award In the 1970s, psychology wrestled with an identity crisis, facing questions about everything from its methodology to its theories to its relevance to society. Kenneth J. Gergen helped ignite that debate, putting forth ideas that criticized the basic foundations of the discipline and sparked intense arguments within the field. Over the course of a five-decade career, Gergen emerged as a controversial and influential figure who challenged and enriched the potentials of his discipline. He is widely recognized for his contributions to social constructionist theory, technology and cultural change, and relational theory and practice. He holds honorary degrees from universities in Europe and the United States. His books have been translated into multiple languages, and he has received numerous awards, including fellowships from the Guggenheim, Fulbright, Humboldt, and Hongguo foundations. Gergen grew up in Durham with his three brothers. Their father, John Jay Gergen, was chair of the Duke Department of Mathematics from 1937 to 1966. Gergen earned his bachelor’s degree from Yale and served a stint in the Navy before coming to Duke for his Ph.D. in psychology. He earned his doctorate in 1963 and joined the faculty at Harvard University. In 1967, he became chair of the Department of Psychology at Swarthmore College. His early work, which examined topics such as social perception, self-presentation, and responses to altruism, received support from sources such as the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation. In 1973, Gergen published arguably his most influential work, an article titled “Social Psychology as History.” Going against the mainstream, empiricist view of the discipline, he argued that social psychology research should be viewed as historical inquiry because, “unlike the natural sciences, it deals with facts that are largely non-repeatable and which fluctuate markedly over time.” The article ignited an intense response. Gergen said his ideas were rejected by mainstream researchers but embraced by those on the fringes (who were frustrated with the status quo of what was considered legitimate inquiry) and by colleagues from other social science fields. In the ensuing years, Gergen became a major figure in the development of social constructionism, an alternative to the empiricist view of scientific knowledge. Social constructionism holds that rather than reflecting an objective truth, scientific descriptions and explanations are derived from social interchange—communities agreeing on what is real, rational, and good. Gergen’s ideas remain controversial within his own field, but they are now shared across the social sciences. He helped establish the Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology within the major division of the American Psychological Association that is concerned with methods of research. He also played a key role in establishing the journals Theory and Psychology and Qualitative Psychol- ogy. He is cofounder and current president of the Taos Institute, a virtual organization of scholars and practitioners exploring the intersection of social constructionist ideas and professional practices. Gergen’s significant writings includeThe Saturated Self and Relational Being: Beyond Self and Community. His other articles and books have tackled such topics as psychotherapy, organizational leadership, education, dialogic process, Buddhism, narrative, aging, arts-based research, and future-forming research. The Graduate School Distinguished Alumni Award is given annually to a graduate of a Duke University Ph.D. program who rendered distinguished service to his or her field of endeavor, to Duke, or to the betterment of humanity. Nominees must have received their Ph.D. from Duke at least 10 years ago. 3 Order of the Hooding Ceremony Ph.D. candidates will be called in the order listed Note: The list of candidates appearing in this program is not an officially certified list of graduates.

  • Distance Dependence of Photoinduced Long-Range Electron Transfer in Zinc/Ruthenium-Modified Myoglobins
    J. Am. Chem. SOC.1988, 110, 435-439 435 Distance Dependence of Photoinduced Long-Range Electron Transfer in Zinc/Ruthenium-Modified Myoglobins Andrew W. Axup, Michael Albin, Stephen L. Mayo, Robert J. Crutchley,' and Harry B. Gray* Contribution No. 7588 from the Arthur Amos Noyes Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91 125. Received May 8, I987 Abstract: An experimental investigation of the distance dependence of long-range electron transfer in zinc/ruthenium-modified myoglobins has been performed. The modified proteins were prepared by substitution of zinc mesoporphyrin IX diacid (ZnP) for the heme in each of four previously characterized pentaammineruthenium(II1) (a5Ru; a = NH,) derivatives of sperm whale myoglobin (Mb): a5Ru(His-48)Mb, aSRu(His-12)Mb, a5Ru(His-l 16)Mb, a5Ru(His-81)Mb. Electron transfer from the ZnP triplet excited state (,ZnP*) to Ru3+, 3ZnP*-Ru3t -+ ZnP+-Ru2+ (AEo - 0.8 V) was measured by time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy: rate constants (kf)are 7.0 X lo4 (His-48), 1.0 X IO2 (His-12), 8.9 X 10' (His-1 16), and 8.5 X IO' (His-81) s-' at 25 OC. Activation enthalpies calculated from the temperature dependences of the electron-transfer rates over the range 5-40 OC are 1.7 i 1.6 (His-48), 4.7 i 0.9 (His-12), 5.4 i 0.4 (His-116), and 5.6 i 2.5 (His-81) kcal mol-'. Electron-transfer distances (d = closest ZnP edge to a5Ru(His) edge; angstroms) were calculated to fall in the following ranges: His-48, 11.8-16.6; His-12, 21.5-22.3; His-116, 19.8-20.4; His-81, 18.8-19.3.

Yet, these ET reactions may involve multiple redox cofactors in van der Waals contact with each other and with vibronic broadenings on the same scale as the energy gaps among the species. In this regime, fluctuations of the molecule and its medium can produce transient energy level matching among multiple electronic states. This transient degeneracy, or flickering electronic resonance among states, is found to support coherent (ballistic) charge transfer. Importantly, ET rates arising from a flickering resonance (FR) mechanism will decay exponentially with distance because the probability of energy matching multiple states is multiplicative.

  • Blue Devils Stalk Jayhawks for NCAA Title, 72-65
    NCAA VICTORY EDITION At last Once college basketball's perennial brides­ maids, the Duke Blue Devils win it all in their THE CHRONICLE ninth trip to the Final Four. TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 DUKE UNIVERSITY DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA CIRCULATION: 3,000 VOL. 86, NO. 125A DUKE TAKES CROWN! Blue Devils stalk Jayhawks for NCAA title, 72-65 By MARK JAFFE INDIANAPOLIS — For the first time in its history, the men's basketball team captured an NCAA Championship. The Blue Devils used a 17-7 run early in the second half to pull away from Kansas and fought off a furious late-game assault by the Jayhawks to win, 72-65, Monday night at the Hoosier Dome. "I'm so happy for our guys," said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "I'm not sure if anyone's ever played harder for 80 minutes to win a national title." The Blue Devils (32-7) had fallen short ofthe championship in eight previous trips to the Final Four, including four ofthe last five years. But in 1991 Duke would not be denied. "I feel good but [not winning the title] has never been a monkey on my back," Krzyzewski said. "Did you see the players' faces? I looked at my three daughters and saw them crying. I'm just so happy." Christian Laettner, the most outstand­ ing player ofthe tournament, had his first double-double—18 points and 10 rebounds — in 12 games to lead Duke. "I'm just very happy about [most out­ standing player honors]," Laettner said. "But there are more things I'm more happy about — a national championship, a big trophy for coach to bring back to Duke.
