Chemistry in 1980, along Sanger. The award recognized their contributions to basic

research involving nucleic acids. Berg

received his undergraduate education at Penn State University, where he majored in biochemistry. He received his Ph.D. in

biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University in 1952. Berg worked as a professor at Washington

University School of School of Medicine, in addition to serving

as the director of the Beckman Center for Molecular and Genetic

Medicine. In addition to the Nobel Prize, Berg was

presented with the National Medal of Science in 1983 and the National Library of Medicine Medal in 1986. Berg

is a member of the Board of Sponsors for the Bulletin of the

Atomic Scientists.

Harry Max Markowitz (born August 24,

1927) is an American economist, and a recipient of the 1989 John von

Neumann Theory Prize and the 1990 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic

Sciences. Markowitz is a professor of finance at the Rady School of

Management at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He

is best known for his pioneering work in modern portfolio theory, studying

the effects of investment portfolio returns. Harry Markowitz was born to a Jewish family,

the son of Morris and Mildred Markowitz. During high school, Markowitz

developed an interest in physics and philosophy, in particular the ideas

of David Hume, an interest he continued to follow during his undergraduate

years at the University of Chicago. After receiving his Ph.B. in

Liberal Arts, Markowitz decided to continue his studies at the University

of Chicago, choosing to specialize in economics. There he had the opportunity

to study under important economists, including Milton Marschak and Leonard Savage. While still a

student, he was invited to become a member of the Cowles Commission for

Research in Economics, which was in Chicago at the time. He completed his A.M.

in Economics from the university in 1950. Markowitz chose to

apply mathematics to the analysis of the stock market as the topic

for his dissertation. Jacob Marschak, who was the thesis advisor, encouraged

him to pursue the topic, noting that it had also been a favorite interest

of Alfred Cowles, the founder of the Cowles Commission. While researching

the then current understanding of stock prices, which at the time consisted in

the present value model of John Burr Williams, Markowitz

realized that the theory lacks an analysis of the impact of risk. This insight

led to the development of his seminal theory of portfolio allocation

under uncertainty, published in 1952 by the Journal of Finance. In

1952, Harry Markowitz went to work for the RAND Corporation, where he

met George Dantzig. With Dantzig's help, Markowitz continued further developing the critical

line algorithm for the identification of the optimal mean-variance

portfolios, relying on what was later named the Markowitz frontier. In

1954, he received a PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago with a

thesis on the portfolio theory. The topic was so novel that, while Markowitz

was defending his dissertation, Milton Friedman argued his contribution was not

economics. During 1955–1956 Markowitz spent a year at the Cowles

Foundation, which had moved to Yale University, at the invitation

of James Tobin. He published the critical line algorithm in a 1956 paper

and used this time at the foundation to write a book on portfolio allocation

which was published in 1959. Markowitz won the Nobel

Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1990 while a professor of finance

at Baruch College of the City University of New York. In the

preceding year, he received the John von Neumann Theory Prize from the Operations

Research Society of America (now Institute for Operations Research

and the Management Sciences, INFORMS) for his contributions in the theory

of three fields: portfolio theory; sparse matrix methods; and simulation

language programming (SIMSCRIPT). Sparse matrix methods are now widely used to

solve very large systems of simultaneous equations whose coefficients are

mostly zero. SIMSCRIPT has been widely used to program computer simulations of

manufacturing, transportation, and computer systems as well as war games.

SIMSCRIPT (I) included the Buddy memory allocation method, which was

also developed by Markowitz. He was elected to the 2002 class of Fellows of

the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences
