CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Ohio State University/Huntsville, Alabama: Developed [with P.S. Jastram (OSU) ] method for increasing energy resolution of gamma-ray scintillation detectors. Determined beta-gamma angular correlations [OSU] of several radioactive elements; fitted data to current models of beta decay. Missile engineering at Redstone Arsenal , Huntsville, Alabama (prior to its incarnation as NASA Space Center); interview with Werner von Braun.

Stanford University/Los Trancos Woods: Built semiconductor particle detectors, high vacuum scattering chamber for studying "deuteron stripping reactions" [Sam Austin (Stanford)]. Met Heinz & Elaine Pagels. Designed & built unconventional proton-polarization detector using Li7 + p reaction. Measured proton polarization from (d, p) reactions on C12.

Monmouth, Illinois: Assistant Professor of Physics Monmouth College: developed holography laboratory. Built ion generator for psychology dept's experiments on ion-enhanced maze-learning in rats.

Memorex, Santa Clara, CA: Senior Physicist: developed new magnetic materials and magnetic, electrostatic and optical measuring devices. Designed and pilot-lined heat-developing photographic film. Did theoretical work on Lorenz microscopy (direct visualization of magnetic domains with electron microscope)

SCM, Palo Alto, CA: Senior Physicist: deveoped new theory of xerographic process. Worked on all aspects of xerography with special emphasis on corona discharge phenomena and roller fusion dynamics. Consultant: developed early fluid-dynamic model of ink-jet printing process//developed explanatory material for eye-surgery lasers. Published shortest proof of Bell's Theorem (Nick's Proof).

Institute for Study of Consciousness, Berkeley, CA: Met Saul-Paul Sirag. Participated in First Esalen Physics/Consciousness Invitational. Co-founded Consciousness Theory Group.
.Participated in Jim Culbertson Week, San Luis Obispo. Developed and tested (with Dick Shoup, PARC Xerox) the first Metaphase Typewrtiter and Quantum Metaphone.

Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA: Co-hosted (with Saul-Paul Sirag) seven Esalen Seminars on the Nature of Reality. Met Fritz Perls, Al Huang, Mike Murphy, Bernard d'Espagnat. Awarded Reality Prize (at ESNR III) to John Clauser and John Stewart Bell.

Boulder Creek, CA: Authored "Quantum Reality", "Faster Than Light", "Elemental Mind". Met John & Mary Bell. Initiated AMY Group on Idealistic Physics. Taught seminars on "Quantum Reality" at Esalen, NYC Open Center, Boston Interface, LA Jungian Institute, UC Extensions in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Berkeley. Met John Brockman, Rudi Rucker, Queen Mu. Wrote numerous "Fringe Science" columns for Berkeley cyber-culture magazine MONDO 2000.

Delivered paper on eigenstates as hidden variables at New York Academy of Sciences Conference on Quantum Foundations. Met Eugene Wigner, Wojciech Zurek, Roy Glauber. Interviewed for "Mavericks of the Mind". Appeared on public television: CBC's "Miracle of the Mind" and Jeffrey Mishlove's "Thinking Allowed". Produced several multi-media "Quantum Evenings" at notorious Bulkhead Gallery (Santa Cruz) and other venues.

Delivered plenary address "Quantum Sex" at Seattle Convention of Society for the Scientific Study of Sex. Scholar-in-Residence: Portland Oregon under auspices of Center for Science, Engineering & Public Policy. Founding member of BC "Bistro Poets". Discovered by "Quantum Tantra" -- a brand-new direction for science. Published "Leaves of Grass" and "jailbait.com". Joined board of directors Institute for Frontier Science. Interviewed for "Science of the Impossible"--a BBC-produced television documentary. Edited & contributed to: "Alice Zwischen den Welten", a quantum-mechanical version of the Lewis Carroll classic. Completed collection of quantum tantric foundation poetry "Physics on All Fours" published by Sea Creatures Press. Elected Bern Porter Fellow (in the Unnatural Sciences). Selected as Scholar of the Month by Bern Porter International.
