| Abstract | Chemist and professor Ralph Gardner-Chavis was born on December 3, 1922, in Cleveland, Ohio. He earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1943. Gardner-Chavis earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from Cleveland's Western Reserve University. From 1943 to 1947, Gardner-Chavis was employed as a research assistant on the Manhattan Project, which resulted in the United States developing the atomic bomb to end World War II in 1945. After the war, Gardner-Chavis worked as a research chemist and project leader at Standard Oil of Ohio from 1949 to 1968. Gardner-Chavis became a full-time faculty member in Cleveland State University's chemistry department in 1968, where he remained until 1985. He later combined part-time teaching with work in the research lab of the Molecular Technology Corporation.
