Gareth Eaton

Gareth R. Eaton received his A.B. at Harvard and obtained his Ph.D. at MIT 1972. Since then he has been in the Department of Chemistry (now the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry) at the University of Denver. He was promoted to Professor in 1980. He served as Dean of Natural Sciences and Engineering from 1984-1988 and as Vice Provost for Research from 1988-1989. In 1997 he received the John Evans Professorship at the University of Denver. He teaches inorganic chemistry. His research program involves continuous wave, rapid-scan, and pulse EPR applied to the study of relaxation times, spin-spin interaction, metal ions in biological systems, and EPR imaging. He and his wife, Professor Sandra S. Eaton, have jointly authored or edited 7 books and about 425 research papers, review articles, and book chapters. In 2002 they jointly received the Bruker prize and in 2008 they became Fellows of the International EPR/ESR Society. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Sandra Eaton

Sandra S. Eaton received her bachelor's degree at Wellesley College and obtained her Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry at MIT 1972. She joined the faculty of the University of Colorado at Denver in 1973. In 1990 she moved to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Denver. In 1997 she received the John Evans Professorship at the University of Denver. Since 2008 she has been Chair of the Department. She teaches undergraduate and graduate level classes in physical chemistry. Her research program involves continuous wave, rapid-scan, and pulsed EPR applied to the study of relaxation times, interspin distance measurements, metal ions in biological systems, and EPR imaging. She and her husband, Professor Gareth R. Eaton, have jointly authored or edited 7 books and more than 425 research papers, review articles, and book chapters. In 2002 they jointly received the Bruker prize and in 2008 they became Fellows of the International EPR/ESR Society.
