The experimental and theoretical study of waves and wave-particle interactions in plasma. Since about 1990, my work has concentrated on the solar wind, but previously a broad program of rocket exploration of the aurora, exploration of the earth’s magnetosphere, and laboratory experiments on electron beam-plasma interactions was carried out. Recently, I have been interested in interplanetary dust as measured by impacts on spacecraft.

I was born 6 Nov. 1927 in Tacoma, WA. U.S. Army 1946-7. In 1956 I married Dorothy DelBourgo. Our children are Kenneth and David. Divorced, married Janet Schuffenhouer in April 1969, adopted her children, Deidre and Todd.

Education

Ph.D., Cornell University, 1955

B.S., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1950

Professional Background

I received my Ph.D. from Cornell in 1955; Philip Morrison was my advisor. Fulbright fellow 1954-5 at Institut for Theoretisk Physik, Copenhagen, Denmark. NRC associateship at Naval Research Laboratory 1955-56, took my first and only job at the University of Minnesota. I retired from teaching in June 1998, and kept up research.
