Dr. Russell Hulse was born in New York City on November 28, 1950. In 1970, he received his bachelor's degree in physics from The Cooper Union, a college in lower Manhattan. He then went on to graduate studies at The University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where Dr. Hulse's childhood interest in amateur radio undoubtedly influenced his decision to explore radio astronomy as his graduate thesis subject. After completing his Ph.D. in 1975, Dr. Hulse accepted a two year, post-doctoral appointment at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Charlottesville, Virginia. Dr. Hulse's research interests include modeling the behavior of impurity ions in the high temperature plasmas of the controlled thermonuclear fusion devices at PPPL and modeling the transport of electrons in the plasma as revealed by pellet injection experiments.
