Which project did Gordon Kane, aka Victor Weisskopf and former Director Emeritus at the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics, work on during the second World War?
Manhattan
Gordon L. Kane
Gordon Kane (born January 19, 1937) is "Victor Weisskopf Distinguished University Professor" at the University of Michigan and Director Emeritus at the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP), a leading center for the advancement of theoretical physics.
 He was director of the MCTP from 2005 to 2011 and "Victor Weisskopf Collegiate Professor of Physics" from 2002 - 2011.
 He received the Lilienfeld Prize from the American Physical Society in 2012, and the J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics in 2017.
Victor Weisskopf
Victor Frederick "Viki" Weisskopf (September 19, 1908 – April 22, 2002) was an Austrian-born American theoretical physicist.
 He did postdoctoral work with Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Wolfgang Pauli and Niels Bohr.
 During World War II he was Group Leader of the Theoretical Division of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, and later campaigned against the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Anton Kapustin
Anton Nikolayevich Kapustin is a Russian-American theoretical physicist and the Earle C. Anthony Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, and a former member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University.
 His interests lie in quantum field theory and string theory.
 He has also done pioneering work in non-commutative geometry. Johannes Juilfs
Johannes Wilhelm Heinrich Juilfs, also known by the alias Mathias Jules, (15 December 1911 – 1995) was a German theoretical and experimental physicist.
 He was a member of the "Sturmabteilung" (SA) and then, in 1933, of the "Schutzstaffel" (SS).
 Prior to World War II, he was one of three SS staff physicists who investigated the physicist Werner Heisenberg during the Heisenberg Affair, instigated, in part, by the ideological "deutsche Physik" (German physics) movement.
 During the war, he worked as a theoretical physics assistant at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics.
 During the denazification process after World War II, he was banned from working as a civil servant in academia.
 For a few years, he worked as a school principal, and then he took a job as a physicist in the textile industry.
 With the help of Heisenberg and the Minister of Lower Saxony, he was able to become a full professor at the University of Hanover. Richard Baum
Richard Dennis Baum (; July 8, 1940 – December 14, 2012) was an American China watcher, professor emeritus of political science at UCLA, and former director emeritus of the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies, noted for his many academic works on Chinese politics.
 Baum credited Rhoda Sutherland of Oxford University with inspiring his interest in linguistics. Kirthi Tennakone
Kirthi Tennakone is a Sri Lankan scientist with an assortment of research interests in theoretical and experimental physics, chemistry and biological systems.
 He has authored over 350 publications covering a diverse variety of disciplines.
 He is the former Director of Institute of Fundamental Studies, Sri Lanka (now named as National Institute of Fundamental Studies) and the first Professor of Physics at the University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka.
 He pursued studies leading to a doctoral degree in Theoretical Physics at the University of Hawaii under supervision of Sandip Pakvasa was a first suggest that neutrinos may be massive and consider the astrophysical implications.
 In Condensed Matter Physics he pioneered the studies on semiconducting properties Copper(I) Thiocyanate, a rare example of a transparent p-type semiconductor, currently adopted in many devices and developed techniques of its deposition as thin films.
 He was the first to introduce the concept of the dye-sensitized solid state solar cell and demonstrate a working prototype of the same.
 Sri Lanka Government recognized his contribution to research and education and awarded National Honors on two occasions.
 He was one of the Union of Concerned Scientists who signed to the document presented to world leaders in 1992 about environmental degradation that threatens global life support systems on this planet. Katherine Freese
Katherine Freese, a theoretical astrophysicist, is the George Eugene Uhlenbeck Collegiate Professor of Physics at the University of Michigan.
 Starting in September 2014, she assumed the position of Director of Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, in Stockholm, and holds a position as Visiting Professor of Physics at Stockholm University.
 She is known for her work in theoretical cosmology at the interface of particle physics and astrophysics. Sallie Foley
Sallie Foley, LMSW is the director of the University of Michigan Sexual Health Certificate Program for the center for sexual health/University of Michigan Health System/Department of Social Work and the Graduate School of Social Work.
 She is also the former director of the center for sexual health at University of Michigan Health System/Department of Social Work.
 She is an AASECT certified sex therapist, educator, supervisor and diplomate of sex therapy.
 She has been on the faculty at the Graduate School of Social Work since 1981.
 Her clinical work and teaching address issues of psychological development, the treatment of sexual difficulties, and therapies for bereavement and traumatic loss.
 She is on the editorial board of the "American Journal of Sexuality Education".
 Among other awards, she is the 2004 recipient of the UMHS Beverly Jean Howard award for Excellence in Social Work.
 Foley is a regular lecturer in the University of Michigan Medical School and Department of Psychiatry.
 Her current research projects include sexual health concerns and information needs of cancer patients, research providing sex therapy interventions for cancer patients, and the creation of a research database at the center for sexual health. Leonard Parker
Leonard Emanuel Parker (born Leonard Pearlman in 1938 in Brooklyn, New York) is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics and a former Director of the Center for Gravitation and Cosmology at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
 During the late 1960s, Parker established a new area of physics - quantum field theory in curved spacetime.
 Specifically, by applying the technique of Bogoliubov transformations to quantum field theory with a changing gravitational field, he discovered the physical mechanism now known as gravitational particle production.
 His work inspired research by hundreds of physicists and has been cited in more than 2,000 research papers; it was credited in the memoirs of Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov and helped Stephen Hawking discover the creation of particles by black holes. Stephen Shenker
Stephen Hart Shenker (born 1953) is an American theoretical physicist who works on string theory.
 He is a professor at Stanford University and former director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics.
 His brother Scott Shenker is a computer scientist.
