Bruce S Hudson

Bruce S Hudson completed his BS and MS degrees in Chemistry at the California Institute of Technology and his PhD at Harvard University where he worked with Bryan Earl Kohler on the excited electronic states of linear conjugated polyenes. His thesis showed that the lowest excited electronic states of linear polyenes is not the HOMO to LUMO excitation but is instead a state of the same symmetry as the ground state and thus symmetry forbidden.
