20世纪50年代至70年代，伊利诺斯大学厄巴纳-香槟分校(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign—UIUC)的古植物学教学和科研非常辉煌，突出表现在：该校的煤核植物化石研究之实力非常雄厚，培养了很多古植物学人才。

   美国古植物学家、古生态学家William Anthony DiMichele分别于1976年和1979年在UIUC获得硕士和博士学位。

   William A. DiMichele供职于史密森研究院（Smithsonian Institution）的美国国家自然历史博物馆古生物部(National Museum of Natural History,  Washington, DC)。

   1994年，William A. DiMichele服务美国植物学会古植物学分会，担任主席。参见：
