Merle Anthony Tuve (June 27, 1901 – May 20, 1982) was an American geophysicist who was the Chairman of the Office of Scientific Research and Development's Section T, which was created in August 1940.[1] He was founding director of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the main laboratory of Section T during the war from 1942 onward.[2] He was a pioneer in the use of pulsed radio waves whose discoveries opened the way to the development of radar and nuclear energy.[3]
