I received my doctorate in the Department of Geological Sciences at Columbia University in 1988. It was sometime around 1994 that I first became interested in the foundational problems of quantum mechanics.
Since 1996, I have been working as a contractor employee in the large technical ecosystem in the Washington, D.C. area that supports weather forecasting and satellite-based remote sensing of the earth and the near-earth space environment. Most of my efforts have been devoted in one way or another to the development, integration and maintenance of the ground-based software segments of the systems that enable these activities. I have supported programs at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. Since 2002, I have been an employee of Computational Physics, Inc. (CPI), of Springfield, Virginia. Since 2015, I have been doing internal corporate work in addition to direct technical work.
I am the author or co-author of a small handful of papers and technical reports, one patent, and some miscellaneous articles on topics that happened to catch my interest at the time, mostly in or related to the earth sciences (see the publication list).
For this work on Bell’s Theorem, I have received general moral support from CPI management and some intellectual engagement from CPI colleagues, for which I am grateful (see the acknowledgments). However, this work is an independent project not supported by any funds other than my own. The views expressed in this article are not intended to represent those of the management and technical staff of CPI.
