... . His research has included work on quantum cryptography, algorithmic information theory, and "quantum teleportation." He is an IBM fellow, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
From page 178...
... The principal emphasis is on addressing fundamental problems in process synthesis and design, interaction of design and control, process operations, discrete-continuous nonlinear optimization, deterministic global optimization, and computational chemistry, structural biology and bioinformatics. He is the recipient of numerous awards for teaching and research that include the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, 1988; the Bodossaki Foundation Award in Applied Sciences, 1997; the Aspen Tech Excellence in Teaching Award, 1999; and the 2001 AIChE Professional Progress Award for Outstanding Progress in Chemical Engineering.

... Heath's research interests focus on "artificial" quantum dot solids and quantum phase transitions in those solids; molecular electronics architecture, devices, and circuitry; and the spectroscopy and imaging of transmembrane proteins in physiological environments. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and has received the Jules Springer Award in Applied Physics (2000)
From page 180...
... He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a recipient of the Max Planck Research Award and serves as senior editor of the Journal of Physical Chemistry.
From page 181...
... In 1985 he joined the molecular modeling group at the Merck Research Laboratories where he remained as head of molecular modeling until 1998. During this time, his research included the structure-based design of human leukocyte elastase inhibitors, virtual screening methodologies and studies of G-protein coupled receptors.
