Richard Hughey - Professor, Computer Engineering

Selected: CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics

My sister won the Handbook at a state chemistry competition. She gave it to me on receiving a second copy with a fellowship. The Handbook was a regular reference for college mathematics, physics, and engineering courses. My sister went on to complete her PhD in Physics while also being concertmaster at MIT. The Handbook, and all of Barbara's other accomplishments, have been a constant inspiration to me through college, graduate school, and academia.
