About

I have a Ph.D. in Physics and a Bachelors degree in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin, and am intimately familiar with the fundamental concepts of Mathematics and Physics and how they apply to the real world.

While at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland I taught Physics and constructed detectors that were used at MIT and The Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. I taught several graduate students. I made an effort to learn as much as possible from the masters at Hopkins, MIT and Princeton. Learning from a master helps you understand the tools, concepts and tricks that are essential for that discipline. You discover that it is necessary to be confused and that confusion ultimately leads to a higher dimension of enlightenment. Then you start the transition from student to master yourself. It begins with Mathematics.

Seven years ago I retired from a research scientist position in the Engineering Dept at UC Berkeley. While at UC Berkeley I expanded my knowledge of mathematics and physics into engineering/computer science concepts and worked closely with the students. It was a joy to teach and to learn from the students. This experience has given me the unique opportunity to interact with young minds on engineering and math concepts and how they apply to reality.

I have a love for mathematics and physics that developed when I was young, and have a passion for teaching. Mathematics is an art form that is the basis of all disciplines. The physical significance of mathematical equations defines the fundamental theoretical principles of all of the sciences as well as life itself. It is the poetry of the universe. Mathematical symmetry gives you the conservation laws. One of the most important is the conservation of energy law. You can start seeing the basic symmetries in the equations of algebra, geometry and calculus in middle school and high school.

I have recently tested negative for Covid19 at Kaiser Oakland. The test was required before cataract surgery.
