Education and Employment: PhD (1961) from Princeton University; on the faculty of the University of Maryland since 1962.

Research Interests: Elementary particle theory; Lorentz group applicable to other areas of physics including quantum optics, condensed matter physics, and classical mechanics; foundations of quantum mechanics, particularly the question of making the uncertainty principle consistent with special relativity.

Professional Activities: Organizing international conferences, robot communication system which lists many webpages for international conferences.

Extracurricular Activities: Talking with students on various issues; collecting Coca-Cola cans of different designs from different countries; writing internet "show and tell" articles.

More recently, making the webpages more attractive to visitors. This is a very challenging new art. If you are a frequent visitor to my website, you will note that I am making progress along this line of research.

True Character: I am a freedom-loving boy, and I enjoy talking/listening to everybody in the world. Please e-mail me if you have brilliant ideas.
