Ulrich Zurcher，earned a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Baselin Switzerland in 1989. He moved to the US and took several postdoctoral positions in Theoretical Physical Chemistry （with the late Robert Silbey at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tom Keyes at Boston University） and Statistical Physics （with Charles Doering at Clarkson University， now at the University of Michigan）. He then 'gravitated' towards teaching at the undergraduate level， first at the University of Rhode Island and since 2003 at Cleveland State University. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010 and to Professor in 2017.
