TIMOTHY ROBERT DONOGHUE

In Memoriam: Timothy Robert Donoghue, May 3, 1936 – September 26, 2004.
He was born in Milton (MA) and graduated from Boston College (BS 1957)
and then University of Notre Dame (Ph.D Physics 1963). In 1963,
he joined the Physics Faculty at The Ohio State University (OSU), and
served as both Professor of Physics and co-Director of the Van de
Graaff Accelerator Laboratory until his retirement from OSU in
1988.
Professor Donoghue served as the Associate Dean for Research in the
Graduate School at Ohio State for a three-year period, where he
initiated the development of major new interdisciplinary research
programs and core research instrumentation facilities that
significantly enhanced the research capabilities across the
university.
After leaving OSU, he was appointed the first Vice Provost for Research
and Dean of the Graduate School at Kansas State University, a position
he held until his retirement in 1998. He was highly recognized
for his dynamic leadership in creating numerous interdisciplinary
research initiatives campus-wide. One of these initiatives was
the establishment of the Biotechnology Core Facility. Through his
leadership and financial support the lab has developed into state of
the art protein research facility that serves the faculties of the
Reagent Institutions of Kansas as well as laboratories throughout the
United States, Latin America, Europe and Japan.
