Wolfgang Haken
CAS Professor Emeritus of Mathematics
Professor Haken is completing work
on the Recognition Problem of the 3-dimensional Sphere and on a new,
faster algorithm for the Knotting Problem. His earlier solution of
the Knotting Problem—an open problem since 1847—used radically unconventional
methods to find an algorithm to determine whether a given closed polygon
in 3-space is knotted. These same methods led to the solution of the
Decision Problem in a great variety of cases.
With Kenneth Appel he completed a
proof of the Four Color Conjecture that had been considered the major
outstanding problem in graph theory, open since its formulation in
1852. For this work, he and Appel received the Delbert Ray Fulkerson
Prize in Discrete Mathematics awarded by the American Mathematical
Society and the Mathematical Programming Society.

Marianne Kalinke
CAS Professor Emerita of Germanic Languages and Literatures
Additional information
Professor Kalinke is an international authority on cultural and literary relations
between Scandinavia and the continent in the medieval and early modern
period. In her books and articles she has addressed the transmission
of continental literature to Scandinavia, the nature of translation
in the Middle Ages, and the impact of medieval French romance on
the development of Old Icelandic literature. Her groundbreaking study
of the transmission of the Arthurian legend to Norway and Iceland,
King Arthur, North-by-Northwest (1981), led to a reconsideration
of the impact of continental romance on the development of indigenous
Icelandic saga genres. Subsequently, Bridal-Quest Romance in Medieval
Iceland (1990), which dealt with the introduction and development
of new types of fiction in Iceland, initiated a revision of the received
classification of Icelandic literary genres. With The Book of Reykjahólar:
The Last of the Great Medieval
Legendaries (1996) her study of romance
broadened to include sacred romance
and the role played by Iceland in preserving medieval German literature that has otherwise
been lost.
Her current research focuses
on the rise of vernacular fiction in the medieval German-language
area from Latin historiographical and hagiographical models. This
development is traced in her most recent book, St. Oswald of Northumbria:
Continental Metamorphoses (2005). In addition to her books and more
than 50 articles on literary history, she has edited and translated
medieval Icelandic sagas; her three-volume edition and translation
of medieval Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish Arthurian literature
was published in 1999.
She has served as president of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (1995-97) and
has served on and chaired the grants and fellowships board of the
American-Scandinavian Foundation (1999-2004). She has been an ACLS
Fellow (1978), Snorri Sturluson Fellow (1994), and Fulbright Fellow
(1985-86). In 1987 she was Visiting Professor of German and of Scandinavian
Studies at the Georg-August Universität in Göttingen, Germany. In
2005 she was appointed Trowbridge Chair in Literary Studies. Since
1981 she has been managing editor for German and Scandinavian of
the Journal of English and Germanic Philology.

Philip Teitelbaum
CAS Professor Emeritus of Psychology
Professor Teitelbaum's findings in the behavioral study of hypothalamic functions
have had a major influence in the area for more than thirty years.
He opened up another important area of hypothalamic research, that
of sensory neglect. His application of an Israeli movement-notation
system to the analysis of movement disorders has led to new psychological
and pharmacological insights into Parkinson's disease and related
neurological disorders. He is currently applying this system to
the early diagnosis of Autism. With it, he can diagnose Autism
as early as six months of age—two years earlier than the age at
which Autism is usually diagnosed. He has recently applied movement
notation to the diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome. He can diagnose
Asperger's syndrome (as a form of Autism) at six months, in comparison
to the ordinary age of diagnosis at six years of age. Currently
he is a graduate research professor in psychology at the University
of Florida, Gainesville, working on a book titled Hierarchical
Physiological Psychology.
With psychologist Evelyn Satinoff, he coedited Handbook of
Behavioral Neurobiology: Motivation (1983). He received the Distinguished
Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association
