American mineralogist and solid state chemist (1933–2022)
Charles Thompson Prewitt (March 3, 1933 – April 28, 2022) was an American mineralogist and solid state chemist known for his work on structural chemistry of minerals and high-pressure chemistry .[1]
Education and career [ edit ]
Prewitt studied geology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an undergraduate and received his PhD in 1962 in crystallography at the same place under the supervision of Martin Buerger , where he worked on the structure determination of wollastonites and pectolites . He moved to DuPont Central Research Laboratory in Wilmington, Delaware , where he worked with Robert D. Shannon to compile the effective ionic radii ,[2] Stony Brook University in 1969. In 1986, he was hired by the Carnegie Institute of Science to head the Geophysics Laboratory until 1998.[3] University of Arizona .[4] [1]
Honors and awards [ edit ]
Prewitt was a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 1983. He was the vice president and president of the Mineralogical Society of America in 1983 and 1984, respectively.[5] Roebling Medal from the Mineralogical Society of America in 2003. He received the inaugural Medal for Excellence from the International Mineralogical Association in 2008.[6]
