During an afternoon in the summer of 1994, over a few platters of nachos at a restaurant in Ann Arbor that is long gone, Doug and Professor Coppola drafted the first set of SSG assignments. Remarkably, these assignments have stood the test of time and most remain exactly as they were created on that day.

Doug is a biochemist who spent many years in private industry leading a team of creative scientists seeking new ways to fight fatal diseases. He was named as the first executive director of the University of Dayton SupraMolecular Applied Research and Technology Center in the summer of 2016. At the University of Dayton, he is a research professor in chemistry.
