2022 Nelson W. Spencer Lecture: "A Space Physics Launch Pad"
Professor Timothy L. Killeen, President of the University of Illinois System
This semi-formal talk will describe aspects of my multi-facetted career path in research, education and innovation, starting at the Space Physics Research Lab (SPRL) of the University of Michigan in the late 1970’s – and working with Nelson Spencer and other amazing leaders - to now leading a flagship university system as president of the University of Illinois. An abiding interest and focus throughout has been on expanding the role of public education and interdisciplinary research in understanding and improving the human condition on a finite planet. Stops along the way (post Michigan) have included NASA, NSF, NCAR, AGU, Colorado, New York, and Illinois.
