IntroductionI am a full professor in the Department of Physics and Astrophysics at the University of North Dakota (UND). I received my Ph. D. degree from the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago in 1990. Prior to my doctoral degree I received two B.A. degrees from Revelle College at University of California, San Diego in 1985. These B.A. degrees are in Physics and Chemistry. After obtaining a Ph.D. degree, I held a postdoctoral research position for three years at the Johns Hopkins University from 1990 to 1993. During this time, I worked one year in Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Max-Plack Gesellschaft) as a visiting scientist. Also, I held a research associate position for three years in the Condensed Matter Group at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallehassee, Florida from 1993 to 1996. After having experience as a reseach associate, I joined the Department of Physics at the University of North Dakota in 1996. While working as physics faculty at UND, I visited Yonsei University in Korea for one year from 2003 to 2004. I
am a condensed matter theorist and my research interest
is focused mainly on the phenomenon
of superconductivity. Within the field of superconductivity
my interests include both normal and superconducting
state property of different types of superconductors.
These types include heavy fermions, organics, high Tc
cuprates and iron pnictides. Another area of my interest
is the physics of superconducting tunnel junction devices which
may be used in many interesting applications, including
compact sources for terahertz radiation and quantum computers.
