Biography:George Sylvanus Moler
George Sylvanus Moler (1851-May 20, 1932)[1] was professor emeritus of physics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He co-built an early commercial dynamo[2] and used stop motion photography of a skeleton to make a film.[3] He also worked on arc lighting, electrolytic, and photographic equipment. He helped plan and develop Cornell's photographic studio in Rockefeller Hall. He was a professor at Cornell for about 40 years.[4] He is known for his innovations in applied science.[5][6][7][8]
He graduated from Sibley College in 1875 and was profiled in the Sibley Journal of Engineering in 1916.[9] He graduated from Hedding College and Cornell.[10] He was a student, an assistant, and then a colleague of William Arnold Anthony at Cornell.[11]
He was photographed at Cornell's photo studio.
He reached Cornell's age limit and retired effective June 1917.[4][12]
