Graduate of a major Australian University, 1999 PhD. Theoretical Physics (High Energy Physics).

Did do postdoctoral research and taught undergrad Uni Physics, but only for a few years (though every now and then I'll casually teach a class of first year physics to make some extra $$$), then chose a career in Information Technology which I found very interesting as early as my undergrad years. Using Unix and studying computational physics/physical modelling in years 2-3, gave me a strong leaning toward coding, sparking interests in software engineering, systems programming, network programming and engineering and design, which are some of the things I do or have done.

Almost a twenty year no-contact with advanced physics and research but started posting answers to questions on PSE in August 2020, realizing the huge amount of physics knowledge that had since been forgotten. Posting answers, the research involved and the interaction with other members, is a valuable tool when it comes to recalling this knowledge and learning new and interesting concepts.

"One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."
