David J. Rose. David John Rose (1922–1985) was a professor of nuclear engineering at MIT.

Education 

Rose received a B.A.Sc. degree in engineering physics from the University of British Columbia in 1947 and a Ph.D. degree in Physics from MIT in 1950. He joined the faculty of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at MIT when it was formed in 1958.

Work history 

Rose served as captain in the Canadian artillery from 1942-1947. He worked at Bell Laboratories until joining the MIT Nuclear Engineering faculty in 1958. He led the development of the Department’s program in plasmas and controlled fusion, and was on the MIT faculty for the rest of his professional career. From 1969 to 1971, during a two year leave of absence, he worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he was the first director of their office of Long-range planning.

Rose's career was said to have three phases: scientist and engineer; technology/policy analyst; and "bridge builder" between scientific and theological communities.

Rose retired in December 1984, and moved to Honolulu, HI.

Publications, testimony and other history 

Rose wrote over 150 articles ranging from high technology to theology. He was author of the widely cited Plasmas and Controlled Fusion, with Melville Clark, which became the standard textbook in the field of fusion energy.

In 1975 Rose taught the MIT Nuclear Engineering Department's first course on sustainable energy.

He testified to Congress in 1977. He was the primary author of Learning about Energy, published posthumously in 1986.

Rose was thesis supervisor for Richard K. Lester.

Shortly before his death, and days before he was hospitalized, Rose wrote an article opposing Star Wars (SDI) and asking for support for a petition against it.

Rose died on October 24, 1985.

Joe Clark (aeronautics). Joe Clark (September 9, 1941 – March 30, 2020) was a Canadian-born American aerospace pioneer. He co-founded Horizon Air in 1981. 

He founded an early dealership for the Learjet, one of the first private business jets, in the 1960s.  Later, in the 1990s, he co-founded a company, Aviation Partners, to design and sell winglets which enhanced performance of airplane wings at their tips, reducing drag.  It has been estimated that the technology developed, applied to Boeing 737s and other planes, has saved more than 10 billion gallons of fuel, saving money, extending range, and avoiding carbon emissions.

He was a Living Legends of Aviation honoree, inducted in 2004 as "Aviation Entrepreneur of the Year" and in 2009 as "Lifetime Aviation Entrepreneur".

He was "a generous (though low-profile) philanthropist and trustee of the Seattle Museum of Flight and other aviation causes, but also supported nonprofits doing work with children and people who are homeless."

Clark died at a hospital near his home in Palm Springs, California, on March 30, 2020, after suffering a fall two days before.

Legacy

For his life long dedication to aviation Clark was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame alongside the class of 2022.

Jens Poul Andersen. Jens Poul Andersen (26 October 1844  13 June 1935) was a Danish inventor. He constructed some of the earliest Danish cameras. Peter Elfelt used one of his film cameras for the first Danish film recording in 1897.

Early life and education
Andersen was born on 26 October 1844 in Huseby, Annisse Parish, the son of farmer Anders Pedersen (c. 1817–78) and Ane Sørensdatter (c. 1821–1904). He initially apprenticed as a joiner but the painter P. C. Skovgaard later arranged for him to apprentice as a painter in Frederiksværk. He supplemented his sparse schooling at Classen's School where he was soon noted for his handling of physical devices.

Career
In 1866 Andersen started to work as a joiner and mechanic out of his own workshop in Nellerød.  He constructed his first camera in 1866, partly inspired by L.G. Kleffel's Fuldstændig Veiledning i praktisk Fotograf (Danish edition, 1865). His most important technical invention was an improvement of the  "collodion wet plate process" which enabled the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and developed inside the camera. In 1876-77, he was granted a patent of a light camera which eliminated the need for a portable darkroom for use in the field. He entered into a collaboration with photographer Peter L. Petersen (after 1901: Elfelt), who was in 1883 granted an exclusive right to sell Andersen's cameras. Andersen manufactured cameras and other photographic equipment such as stereoscopes as well as microscopes and  levels. His creations were represented at the Nordic Exhibition of 1888. He was often neglected or cheated by manufacturers.

He also created a wide range of other products in his workshop, including Binoculars and guitars.

Legacy
One of his finest works was a film camera for Elfelt from 1896–97 which was used for the first film recordings in Denmark. A later, improved camera (the unicum, originally introduced by Bausch and Lomb) from  1904 is now in the collections of the National Museum of Denmark. A camera made for Familie Journalen'''s Holger Rosenberg (for 160 recordings on an unperforated 35 mm film) is now on display in the Danish Technical Museum in Helsingør.

Mike Wirth. Michael K. Wirth (born October 15, 1960) is an American businessman who has been the chairman and CEO of Chevron Corporation since 2018. Previously, he was the vice chairman of the company.

Early life 
After graduating from high school, Wirth attended the University of Colorado, where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1982. Wirth played football and basketball at school.

Career 
Wirth joined Chevron as a design engineer in 1982. He worked in multiple sectors including engineering, construction, and operations.In 2001 he became president of marketing for Chevron's Asia, Africa and Middle East region.

He has been on the board of directors for Caltex Australia and GS Caltex. In 2018, Wirth was widely speculated and eventually confirmed to succeed John S. Watson as CEO of Chevron.

Wirth is a member of the board of the American Petroleum Institute, a trade group in the oil industry.

Climate Change Inaction 
Wirth's company, Chevron, is responsible for one of the highest total carbon sequestration of any private company worldwide. Despite these practices, Wirth's company has been involved in several greenwashing tactics, and was found by a Federal Trade Commission to be misleading its customers on its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In response to CNBC host Jim Cramer asking if Chevron had considered calls to invest in alternative energy, Wirth responded that Chevron would "go back to our shareholders and let them plant trees".

Personal life
Wirth and his wife have four adult children. 

Wirth moved to Houston, Texas in 2024 as part of Chevron's corporate headquarters relocating to avoid high labor costs and other staffing issues in California.

Wirth sleeps less than 7 hours per night, waking at 3.45am to do a 90 minute gym session.
