Elementary Particle Physics, Physics and Public Policy
My recent work dealt with color transparency and nuclear transparency in nuclei and searches for the quark-gluon plasma. My present physics deals with problems relating to magnetic monopoles and their connection with astrophysics and particle physics experiments. I continue to work on "Physics and Public Policy", publishing articles on missile defense and new smart decoys. I now use my physics training to study the efficacy and safety of new medical drugs and procedures and have an fMRI-cognitive test research program relating to distinguishing between aging and dementia, as well as a Penn collaboration, placing cognitive tests on the web.
