Background:

Roald Hoffmann was born in 1937 in Poland.  Having survived the war, he
came to the United States in 1949 and studied at Columbia University and
Harvard University.  Since 1965, he has been engaged in teaching and
research in theoretical chemistry at Cornell University and is the Frank
H.T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters.  He has received many of the
honours of his profession, including the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
(shared with Kenichi Fukui).

Hoffmann is interested in the geometry and reactivity of molecules, in
explaining from calculations of the motions of molecules electrons why
these molecules have the structures they do and why they react in specific
ways.

Hoffmann has written extensively on the relationship between science and
other forms of human understanding and has presented a television series-
The World of Chemistry.  He has published three collections of poetry and,
with Karl Djerassi, written the play Oxygen which is being presented in
London in October/November 2001 at The Royal Institution and The Riverside
Studios, Hammersmith.

The Nobel Prize was first awarded in 1901 and celebrates achievement in six
fields: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace and
economic sciences.

The Smithsonian's Lemelson Center was established in 1995 by a gift from
The Lemelson Foundation, which was founded by one of America's most
prolific inventors, Jerome Lemelson, and his wife Dorothy.  The Center is
dedicated to exploring invention and innovation in history and encouraging
inventive creativity in young people.

The University of Westminster is one of the largest higher education
institutions in the UK with more than 21,000 undergraduate and postgraduate
students.  Its mission is to provide high quality education and research in
both national and international contexts for the intellectual, professional
and social development of the individual, and the economic and cultural
enrichment of London and its wider communities.

The University of Westminster gratefully acknowledges the support of The
Lemelson Foundation in presenting this series of Nobel Conversations.

We hope to see you on the 20th of November!
