Frank von Hippel is a Senior Research Physicist and Professor of Public and International Affairs Emeritus at Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security, which he cofounded. During 1983–1991, as chairman of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) and the FAS Fund, he partnered with the Committee of Soviet Scientists for Peace and Against the Nuclear Threat (chaired by Evgenyi Velikhov) to help provide technical support for Mikhail Gorbachev’s initiatives to achieve a Comprehensive Test Ban and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces and Strategic Arms Reductions Treaties.  He traveled to Moscow 26 times during this time to brainstorm with Gorbachev’s advisors about how to end the nuclear arms race and achieve nuclear disarmament.
