106 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine PROFESSOR EMERITUS University of California San Diego La Jolla, CA EDUCATION S upported by a BS in biomedical engineering from the City College of New York and PhD from the University of Connecticut, Dr. Lester Lipsky is recognized as professor emeritus in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Connecticut, a title he obtained in 2007. Teaching as a professor at the university for 20 years, he discussed such topics as queuing theory, computer performance modeling and probability applications. Prior to serving the University of Connecticut, Dr. Lipsky taught at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. At the inception of his career, Dr. Lipsky was a research physicist at United Aircraft, and research fellow at the University of London in England and the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C. He has contributed articles to professional publications such as American Physical Review and the Journal of Applied Probability. In 1992, he authored “Monograph Queuing Theory: A Linear Algebraic Approach,” with a second edition released in 2009. Dr. Lipsky enjoyed witnessing his students understand complex ideas. He maintained affiliation with the IEEE, Association for Computing Machinery, American Physical Society and Sigma Xi.

McIlwain received a music scholarship from North Texas State College, earning a BA in music in 1953. Moving on to study physics at the State University of Iowa, he achieved an MS and PhD in 1956 and 1960, respectively. He was an assistant professor at the State University of Iowa until 1962. While in Iowa, he accepted the offer of a tenured associate professorship to help found a new university, the University of California San Diego. After four years at UC San Diego, he was given a full professorship, and in 1992, retired from teaching. Currently, he continues his scientific activities as professor emeritus. Drawn to space physics, Dr. McIlwain made several early discoveries in space in the 1960s, including devising the universally used magnetic coordinate system for studying charged particles in space. He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, fromwhom he received the 1975 John A. Fleming Award. Additionally, he earned the 1970 Space Sciences Award from the AIAA, the 1976 Senior U.S. Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the 2000 Hannes Alfven Medal from the European Geophysics Society.
