Douglas L. Dorset
American crystallographer
Douglas (Doug) L. Dorset (August 29, 1942 – December 8, 2016) was an American crystallographer who, along with Jerome Karle, pioneered the field of electron crystallography.[1]
Dorset studied chemistry at Juniata College in Pennsylvania, and obtained his Ph.D. at University of Maryland, Baltimore in biophysics under Albert Hybl in 1973. He worked at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and at Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute. In 2000, he moved to ExxonMobil, where he investigated the structure of wax crystals and how these change in the presence of modifiers.[2]
Dorset received the A. L. Patterson Award from the American Crystallographic Association in 2002.[3]
