Michael Feld ranged over a wide intellectual landscape. Duringhis more than 50 years in physics and biomedicine, hepioneered on several frontiers. His career began with fundamentaldiscoveries in laser science and ended as he was producingexciting, innovative developments in biomedical opticsand biomedical physics.Feld enjoyed crossing boundaries and savored diversity ofideas, of research fields, of colleagues, and of collaborators.His taste for intellectual variety was in notable contrast to hisfixed and long association with the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology (MIT). He entered MIT in 1958 as an undergraduate,and except for a junior year in England, he neverleft. Even when he took a sabbatical, he took it at MIT. It is asthough his firm anchor to one institution freed his imaginationand research to span many fields.Michael Feld had a gift for building collaborations acrossdisciplines. He was director of MIT’s Harrison SpectroscopyLaboratory from 1976 until his death on April 10, 2010, andhe made the Spectroscopy Laboratory a place that welcomedscientists of all ages and nationalities and from many disciplines(see Fig. 1). Under his direction, the laboratory becamea center for a variety of productive collaborations. Heinstitutionalized and increased funding for such cooperativeresearch by establishing, with National Science Foundation(NSF) support, the MIT Regional Laser Research Facility,and, with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH),the Laser Biomedical Research Center (LBRC). He workedclosely with collaborators from the Cleveland Clinic and fromMassachusetts General Hospital. He was an affiliated memberof the MIT–Harvard Health Sciences and Technology(HST) program and supervised the doctoral work of men andwomen in that program and also in chemical engineering,bioengineering, and materials research, as well as in physics.Many of his former students and postdocs have become leadersin health science or physics
