"Joseph, who taught at Hunter College from 1968 to 2015, published important papers on hydrogen bonds, crystal and protein structures, and computational chemistry. He innovated the use of density functional theory to study the structure and properties of peptides and proteins, and introduced corrections to common errors in quantum chemistry analysis. He was a significant contributor to the software package Gaussian. Collegiality was his byword. He was coauthor on papers with seven other Hunter faculty and with collaborators at 14 other laboratories in eight countries. He mentored a generation of young chemists who went on to make their own mark."—Mateusz Marianski, former doctoral student and professorial colleague
