Allen has been introducing Princeton students to the wonders of inorganic chemistry, chemical thermodynamics and kinetic theory since 1960. Though he started his career in theoretical physics, he chose to become a professor of chemistry because he believed the field offered the greatest opportunity to explore complex electronic structure phenomena.
The focus of his research has been theoretical chemical physics and, in particular, the electronic structure and reactivity of solids and molecules. Allen has published numerous articles in various professional journals, and has won research grants from the National Science Foundation.
Allen earned his bachelor's degree from the University of
Cincinnati and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. He spent two years as a staff member at the Army
Materials Research Laboratory at MIT before arriving at
Princeton.
Branson has been a Princeton faculty member since 1966. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he earned his M.A. from the University of California-Berkeley and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His fields of interest include international economics and finance, macroeconomics and economic development.
The author of numerous articles for professional journals, Branson also has written the books "Macroeconomic Theory and Policy" and "Macroeconomics." His current interests include continuing work on international capital movements and exchange rates, the analysis of trends in the structure of international trade and investments and their implications for U.S. policy, researching macroeconomic policy and financial structure in developing economies and following economic development in transition economies.
Branson has served on the senior staff of the U.S.
Council of Economic Advisers, as deputy director of the
international Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development Project Interfutures and as a consultant to the
International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the U.S.
Federal Reserve Board. He also has taught as a visiting
professor at several European universities. In 1983, he
received a Marshall Fellowship to support his research.
Chow has been teaching at Princeton for the last three decades. In addition to econometrics, he has contributed to dynamic economics, the theory and measurement of demand for durable goods, monetary theory and policy, and business cycle theory, among others. He was director of Princeton's Econometric Research Program for almost 30 years. At his retirement, it will be named the Gregory Chow Econometric Research Program.
Chow is the author of 11 books, including "Analysis and Control of Dynamic Economic Systems," "Econometrics" and "Dynamic Economics." His latest work, "The Transformation of China's Economy," will be published next year. His book "The Chinese Economy," published in 1985, has been translated into Chinese and is widely read in China. Chow has advised top government officials in Taiwan and mainland China on economic reform, economic policy and economic education.
Before his arrival at Princeton, Chow spent eight years
doing economics research at the IBM Research Center. He also
taught at Cornell and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology after earning his bachelor's degree from Cornell
and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
Falk has devoted his career to examining issues of justice and injustice in the relationships between peoples and nations. A professor of international law at Princeton since 1961, Falk has written and edited nearly four dozen books on topics including global politics, international law, human rights, nuclear weapons, terrorism, the United Nations, Israel and Vietnam. This year the United Nations Commission on Human Rights selected him to help investigate alleged human-rights violations in Israeli-occupied lands in the Middle East.
Falk has penned hundreds of articles for journals and newspapers, and has testified before the U.S. Senate on several occasions. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1985 and a Ford Foundation Fellowship in 1958. He was appointed the Albert Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice in 1965, and served as acting director of the Center for International Studies in 1975 and again in 1982.
Falk received his bachelor's degree from the Wharton
School at the University of Pennsylvania, his law degree
from Yale University and his doctorate from Harvard
University.

Ullman has devoted a lifetime to studying and writing about foreign and defense policy -- not only as a teacher, but also as a journalist and a policy adviser. In addition to spending three decades as a professor at Princeton, he has also served as a member of the editorial board of The New York Times, as editor of the journal Foreign Policy and on the staffs of the National Security Council and the Defense Department during the Johnson administration. During 1999 and 2000 he again worked in Washington, this time as a member of the State Department's policy planning staff and director of its Kosovo History Project.
Ullman, who joined the Princeton faculty in 1965, has been the David Bruce Professor of International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs since 1988. Ullman's scholarship primarily has been devoted to exploring how nations get along with each other. He is the author of a three-volume work on Anglo-Soviet relations during the years following World War I. His most recent books have been a study of the dynamics of European security in the post-Cold War period titled "Securing Europe" and an edited collection, "The World and Yugoslavia's Wars."
A former Rhodes scholar, Ullman taught for five years at
Harvard, where he was an undergraduate, before arriving at
Princeton. He holds a doctorate from Oxford University. He
was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in
1974.
Wallace (photo not available) has been a professor of sociology at Princeton since 1971.

Westergaard conducted one of Princeton's most memorable concerts in May 1973, when the University Orchestra performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony before a lively audience in Alexander Hall. He also founded the Opera Festival of New Jersey with Michael Pratt.
In 1990, Westergaard was awarded a grant from the
National Endowment for the Arts to assist in the editing of
the final score of his three-act opera "The Tempest." He has
also won Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships. Westergaard

In addition to holding the position of the Gordon Wu '58 Professor of Chinese Studies, Yü is a professor of history. But Yü prefers to call himself a sinologist rather than a historian, and he describes sinology as the interdisciplinary study of the Chinese and their language, history, thought and culture. Yü believes studying China's past can teach us about contemporary China's struggles to marry traditional values with Western attitudes.
Yü earned his B.A. from New Asia College in Hong
Kong, and his Ph.D. from Harvard. He taught at the
University of Michigan before becoming a professor at
Harvard.
Ziolkowski is an authority on German and European literature from Romanticism to the present.

Ziolkowski's scholarship focuses on the history of literary themes, the reception of classical literature, and the interdisciplinary relationships of literature with religion and law. He is the author of 16 books, for which he has received several awards, including the Christian Gauss Award of Phi Beta Kappa.
A graduate of Duke University, Ziolkowski received his
Ph.D. from Yale University after studying in Austria on a
Fulbright Fellowship. A member of many U.S. and European
academies, he was recently awarded the Commander's Cross of
the German Order of Merit.
