- Rutherford Aris (September 15, 1929 – November 2, 2005) was a chemical engineer and the Regents Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at the University of Minnesota. He was of a Greek-Scotsman origin, the son of Archibald MacPherson Rutherford and Ephygeneia Aristeides. Born in Bournemouth, U.K. His genious showed early, as he finalised a maths degree from London university at the age of 16, which he was granted when he became 18. Then he received a doctorate, by correspondence, writing his thesis in six weeks. His first work was with ICI in the 50's. In 1958 he immigrated to the US and joined the chemical engineering dept of the University Of Minnesota, which he headed from 1974 to 1978. Aris was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1975 and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1988. He made significant contributions to the field of control theory, for which he received the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award in 1992. During his lifetime, Rutherford Aris published 13 books and more than 300 research articles, and mentored more than 65 M.S. and Ph.D. students. Some of its most prevalent are The Optimal Design of Chemical Reactors (1961); Mathematical Theory of Diffusion and Reaction in Permeable Catalysts, vols 1 & 2, and Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's Perspective (1999). One of his most know quotes, the basis of Dynamic Programming, is "If you don't do the best you can with what you happen to have you'll never do the best you might have done with what you should have had"
