  Technology, Cambridge, MA
Master of Arts in Physics, 1963, Columbia University, N.Y.C., NY

                     Employment History

Aug., 1989 to July, 1992, Visiting Assistant Professor, Dept. of Physics,
  Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK.  Taught astronomy, physics, and
  astrophysics.  In my research, I invented a new distance indicator for
  galaxies which makes optimal use of their  photometric, structural, and
  dynamic parameters obtained with CCDs on optical telescopes, and which is
  free of biases and systematic effects.  I continued developement of my
  plotting package for a VAX/VMS.  
Aug., 1988 to Aug., 1989, Visiting Assistant Research Scientist,  Dept. of
  Astronomy, University of  Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.  I installed my image
  processing system, MIIPS, for a Trapix image display.  In my  research, I 
  made the most sensitive measurement, to date, of the diffuse light in a 
  cluster of galaxies.  
Feb., 1981 to Aug., 1988, Assistant Research Scientist,  Dept. of Physics,
  University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.   Played a major role in the design
  and construction an imaging CCD  system for use on a telescope.   My
  contribution included electronic and mechanical  hardware design, and
  programming a NOVA 3/12 computer in FORTH and  machine code, and programming
  a microprocessor.  During the optimization of this  system I discovered a
  mode of operation which is now know as "inverted  operation".  I wrote
  additional software in FORTRAN (about 50,000 lines) for a  VAX/VMS  computer
  to perform image analysis, including image arithmetic, image modeling,
  photometric calibration, and fourier analysis.  This software, MIIPS, was
  the first to be used in the analysis of overlapping, atmospherically 
  blurred images of galaxies.  I supervised several students who were helping
  with this  project.  I also made speckle interferometric observations of a
  binary star, and helped write a successful grant application whose total
  funding  amounted to $580,000.   
Oct., 1974 to Jan., 1981, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Physics,  Los Angeles
  City  College, Los Angeles, CA.  Taught  astronomy, physics, and electrical
  engineering.  Initiated a project to construct a  radio telescope. 
Dec., 1971 to Sept., 1975, Postdoctoral Scholar, Dept. of Astronomy, UCLA,
  Los Angeles, CA.  I did research on the photometric and structural 
  parameters of galaxies and the detection thresholds for optical
  spectroscopy.   Research during  this period provided the first evidence for
  smaller than normal radius-parameters in fainter cluster galaxies, such as 
  would be produced by tidal effects, the first evidence for larger than normal
  radius-parameters in luminous galaxies, such as would be produced by
  merging, and the first evidence for peculiar velocities of clusters of
  galaxies.   Designed a lens to feed a beam from an IR upconverter into a 
  spectrograph. 
Jan., 1964 to Mar., 1967, Engineer/Scientist, McDonnell Douglas Aerophysics
  Laboratory, El Segundo, CA.  I made absolute energy measurements of the 
  radiation from hypervelocity projectiles.  Designed an instrument to detect
  objects as small as 1/32 inch diameter moving at 30,000 feet/sec in a vacuum
  ballistic range.  Analyzed the flow in the  hypervelocity impulse tunnel by
  means of a gas chromatograph.  Developed a cold  wire probe to measure
  temperature in a hypervelocity turbulent boundary layer.   Designed some
  low pass filters.  Developed a light pulser and electronic pulser to test
  accuracy and repeatability of thin film heat transfer gauges.  Did some
  development work on a multiple pulsed light source for a schlieren system.
  Made a study of instrumentation and cost requirements for determination of
  equation of state and fracture thresholds in various materials by means of a 
  ballistic range.  Made improvements on an existing shadowgraph system. 
Sept., 1961 to June, 1963, Research Assistant, Dept.  of Physics,
  Columbia Univ., N.Y.C., NY.  Assisted in energy measurements and standing
  wave ratio  measurements on the cyclotron.  Repaired the auxiliary vacuum 
  system.  Played a major role in setting up a laboratory for the fabrication
  and  testing of Li-drifted solid state particle detectors.  
Summer, 1961, Assistant, Cosmic Ray Group,  Massachusetts Institute of
  Technology, Cambridge, MA.  Assisted in the analysis of data from  Explorer X
  on the proton plasma from the sun.  Made calculations on the plasma probe
  and verified them in a vacuum system.  Helped in the development of a new
  plasma probe with increased angular resolution.  
Summer, 1960, Technician, Atomium Corp., Waltham, MA.  Assisted in the
  development of nuclear radiation instrumentation for use in  medicine.
Summer, 1959, Technician, Bendix Aviation, Teterboro, NJ.  Repaired and
  calibrated electronic equipment.
