Biography

Duran was born on 2 January 1920, in Turkey, and moved to the United States in 1939. He attended Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy and Stanford University. After graduation, in 1947, he became a metallurgy/materials science professor at Washington State University. From 1956 to 1958, he was a visiting professor at Stanford University, and in 1969, he was a visiting professor and consultant to Middle East Technical Institute in Ankara, Turkey.

He used a textbook he wrote called Introduction to Materials Science, Copyright S. A. Duran, 1971, Revised 1980.[1] There is a scholarship in his name at WSU.[2] He died on 23 July 1996 from complications of pneumonia. He was 76.

gollark: What, the whole island?
gollark: When I downloaded it it extracted to a few gigabytes, not petabytes.
gollark: I have a copy of that without the "Trek Wars" at the bottom, wonder who added that.
gollark: In KSP I wanted to make a nuclear-powered aircraft for some reason, and thanks to it not carrying fuel it was very light, but I'm bad at designing planes so it couldn't turn well. So I added some RCS which ran off the atmosphere and some electricity (seems to be from a mod), and it turns out it can actually take off with that.
gollark: One sort-of-VPNish thing you can do is rent a VPS (virtual private server) with lots of available bandwidth somewhere else, host a private VPN server on there, and connect your stuff to that.This doesn't really anonymize you - all your traffic, and nobody else's, will go via that VPS's IP address - but it (effectively, possibly not legally) puts your internet traffic under the regime of wherever your VPS is instead of your actual location.
