Professor Anthony J. Arduengo, III A Tribute
th
Dedicated to Professor Anthony J. Arduengo, III on the occasion of his 60 birthday
Anthony J. "Bo" Arduengo, III was born in 1952 in Tampa, FL and raised in the greater Atlanta, GA area. By the age of 16, Bo and his father (Anthony J. Arduengo, II) had built his first car and it was registered as street-legal. This appeared to be the beginning of a 40 plus year love affair with performance automobiles (as Bo is currently the owner of a Lotus Elise, etc….). The automobile was later re-engineered to run on alternate fuels including alcohol and hydrogen, thus this effort would forecast Bo’s professional research involvement in the National Hydrogen Fuel Initiative (HFI) and the Chemical Hydrogen Storage Program by more than 30 years.
Early and Formal Education
As a student at Walker High School in Atlanta, Bo left in 1969 (and subsequently graduated in 1970) as part of the joint enrollment program with Georgia Tech. While at Georgia Tech, Bo served as Executive Officer and Captain of the Georgia Tech band. As an undergraduate, Bo was the recipient of NSF fellowships in 1972 and 1973 while doing undergraduate research in the Professor Edward M. Burgess’ laboratory. Bo received his BS degree in 1974 (cum laude) and stayed at Georgia Tech where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1976.
