One of the many aspects of physics which I enjoy is that it prepares one to work with and understand a broad class of problems and phenomena. I have had a chance to experience this in my career.
As a graduate student I worked at the National Bureau of Standards on problems in the physics of the ionosphere. My doctoral research dealt with describing the fundamental interactions among certain elementary particles (nucleons and hyperons).
A few years later I became interested in the physics of aerosols and its applications to health and the environment. In these studies, I was solving problems from such diverse disciplines as cloud physics, thermal and mass diffusion, and the mechanics of aerosols.
More recently, I have been involved with the instrumentation for monitoring small airborne particles, particularly those devices which use the scattering of light for detection. This work has led me into areas of applied optics.
My current research interest is the scattering of coherent
light (laser) from small particles and surfaces.
