Eponymous Professorships
- Julian Francis Abele Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science - Named after Julian Francis Abele, the first African-American to graduate from the Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts and Architecture in 1904. Upon graduation, he joined the firm of Horace Trumbauer, who sent Abele to Paris to study at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts, from which he graduated in 1906. By 1909, Abele was the chief designer in the firm of Horace Trumbauer & Associates, the architectural firm that designed many of the buildings on Duke University's West Campus, including the chapel and the Allen Administration Building. Along with many houses for the elite of Northern society, the Trumbauer firm designed the residences of James B. Duke in New York City, and Somerville, NJ. Presumably that is why the firm received the commission to design the new university bearing the Duke name. Additionally, Abele is credited with designing the Widener Library at Harvard University, and Philadelphia's Free Library and Museum of Art. He is considered the first major African-American architect in the United States. Pratt professor: Kenneth C. Hall
- John Cocke Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering - John Cocke (May 30, 1925 – July 16, 2002) was an American computer scientist recognised for his large contribution to computer architecture and optimizing compiler design. He is considered by many to be "the father of RISC architecture." He attended Duke University, where he received his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1946 and his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1953. Cocke spent his entire career as an industrial researcher for IBM, from 1956 to 1992. Perhaps the project where his innovations were most noted was in the IBM 801 minicomputer, where his realization that matching the design of the architecture's instruction set to the relatively simple instructions actually emitted by compilers could allow high performance at a low cost. Cocke won the ACM Turing Award in 1987, the National Medal of Technology in 1991 and the National Medal of Science in 1994. He was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and died in Valhalla, New York. - April Brown
- William Holland Hall Professor of Mechanical Engineering - Named after William Holland Hall, Dean of the College of Engineering at Duke from 1939-1953. Hall was an early champion of engineering education at Trinity College (Trinity was later renamed as Duke University). He joined the faculty of the Department of Engineering in 1914 and became the first dean of the College of Engineering in 1939. At one point during his early tenure at Duke, he comprised the entire staff of the engineering department. For many years, Hall battled against the perception among the administration that engineering education was not worthy of the same level of support as that given to law, business, medicine, religion and forestry. Despite his protests to the contrary, the University administration did not give credence to the technical advances and progression of the profession of engineering during the years after World War I, resulting in engineering education at Duke falling well below the national standard. With perseverence and dedication, Hall consistently championed the merits of engineering education, resulting in the formation of the Division of Engineering in 1937 and the College of Engineering in 1939. In the wake of world War II, Dean Hall led the College through a period of major growth and continued to do so until his retirement in 1954. Pratt professor: Earl H. Dowell
- Theo Pilkington Professor of Biomedical Engineering - Theo Pilkington is the founder of Duke's biomedical engineering department. Pilkington received his engineering Ph.D. from Duke and used computers and mathematics to study the heart's electrical activity. By the end of the 1960's, he was heading a biomedical engineering program in Duke's electrical engineering department. Then in 1971, biomedical engineering became its own department, with Pilkington as its first chairman. Pilkington went on to found and lead another pioneering Duke-based program: an Engineering Research Center for Emerging Cardiovascular Technologies, funded by the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health, as well as by industrial affiliates. He died in 1993 at the age of 57. - Ashutosh Chilkoti
- Aleksandar S. Vesic Professor of Civil Engineering - Named after Aleksandar S. Vesic, Dean of the College of Engineering from 1974 to 1982. Vesic was a professor of civil engineering at Duke prior to becoming dean. In honor of his efforts to expand the engineering school, Duke named the Vesic Library for Engineering, Mathematics and Physics after Aleksandar, who died in 1982. Pratt professor: Henry Petroski
