I'm a semi-retired professor with a long-term interest in fundamental physics. I received my Doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley in experimental nuclear and particle physics. Since then I have worked at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and the TRIUMF accelerator in Vancouver, B.C. The underlying theme of most of my experiments has been the use of light nuclei to explore aspects of elementary particle physics.

This line of research has now run its course, and the emphasis in particle physics is on interactions at very high energy. This is a hard field in which to compete from a small department such as ours, and so I have shifted my interests to teaching and writing for advanced graduate courses in fundamental physics. I have written a book on group theory and one on field theory, which although not published, form the bases for teaching and seminars in these fields. I have initiated an Honors course with the presumptious title, "Life, the Universe and Everything," which explores the interconnections of physical science with philosophy and theology, and I have started a new course in cosmology and general relativity. Finally, and as sort of a hobby, I am exploring numerical simulations of scattering interactions in the Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics.
