In 2008, Solon retired as Professor Emeritus, having dedicated

his career as Professor of Physics at the University of TN. His significant contributions to Biophysics, and specifically towards a deeper understanding of the properties of DNA, have been greatly acknowledged. Though deeply committed to his career, his greatest passion and “work” in life was for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, evangelizing the Word of God to others with love.
