About Aaron Lemonick

Lived 1923 – 2003 (aged 80). Aaron Lemonick was an American physicist.

Aaron Lemonick (February 2, 1923 – June 19, 2003) was a Princeton University physics professor and administrator who served as dean of the graduate school from 1969 to 1973, and as dean of the faculty from 1973 to 1989. Joseph Taylor, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics, attributes his decision to study physics instead of mathematics to Lemonick's freshman physics course at Haverford. Princeton awarded him the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching when he retired in 1994, and he received an honorary degree in 2001. He was the father of Science writer Michael D. Lemonick

Ruth Simmons, the 18th president of Brown, who worked under Lemonick as a Princeton administrator, cites him as one of the major influences on her career. He was also a force behind the foundation of Princeton's Women's Studies program, as well as its Molecular Biology department.
