Daniel Joseph Bradley is a Canadian-American chemist and petroleum engineer, researcher, professor, and administrator.
Bradley's scientific research has focused on thermodynamics and the properties of electrolytes as well as other aqueous solutions.
In 1979, he published a paper with Kenneth Pitzer describing the relative permittivity of water at specified ranges of temperature and pressure.
[3] It was from here that he and Kenneth Pitzer published the article in The Journal of Physical Chemistry entitled "Thermodynamics of electrolytes 12.
"[5] It is a simple "but effective description of the dielectric constant dependence on the pressure and temperature" of water.
[8] However, Bradley and Pitzer formulated an equation of the same form as Tait's that instead described the relationship between the relative permittivity (previously known as the dielectric constant) and the temperature and pressure of water.
[13] He began his duties in July and was officially installed as president of the ISU in November at a formal ceremony in Hulman Center.
[14] In 2009, although former governor of Indiana Mitch Daniels had announced a decrease to the state's higher education budget, Bradley announced a "five-year plan that calls for growing [Indiana State’s] enrollment by 1,500 students, increasing graduation rates and even becoming more involved in the community."
In return, Indiana State students were required to sign a pledge to maintain a minimum of 32 credits per year, declare a major and meet regularly with advisers.
Two years later, Bradley celebrated a successful drilling effort on the university property by presenting jars full of crude oil to the school's Board of Trustees.
[26] As recently as March 2017, Bradley argued against decreases in funding as proposed in the 2018–19 state budget by the Indiana General Assembly[27] and advocated for a $4.7 million increase to improve student outcome.
[28] In June 2017, the $2.3 million per year increase was approved by the school's board of trustees as a line-item appropriation in the state budget.
