PROFESSOR RUSTUM ROY
Professor Roy has interwoven throughout his 60 year career both
world-class science and active participation in reforming theology and
the practice of religion. He is at once a distinguished research
scientist and a social activist, a societal reformer and a champion of
whole person healing (or CAM). He currently holds professorships at
Penn State, Arizona State and the University of Arizona covering those
fields. His work has been recognized by his election to five separate
National Academies of Engineering/Science: of the U.S., Sweden, India,
Japan, and Russia. He has had the Order of the Rising Sun with Gold
Rays conferred on him by the Emperor of Japan. One of the key founders
of the first major interdisciplinary field in the Western world's
academia--Materials Research--he led Penn State's Materials Research
Lab, which he directed for 23 years, to its recognition in 2003 by ISI
as the world's #1 lab in the field. He played the same role for the
field of Science, Technology & Society, specializing in Science
Policy, Science Education, and Science and Religion. He gave the
prestigious Hibbert Lectures in London and served on the Pope's Nova
Spes committee on Science and Religion--a field on which he has written
and lectured for 50 years.
