Update Nov 2021: My current interest is nuclear power and the promise of a solution to the global warming problem. A few months ago I had one of those moments where my thinking radically changed from what I had believed for decades. I had been anti-nuclear, but mostly inattentive. This was in spite of working two years as a physicist with nuclear fusion. I am now learning everything I can about fission.


2010: I am an Electrical Engineer with a PhD in Applied Physics (Caltech 1975). Most of my career has been in the design of analog integrated circuits. I am now a Research Associate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Arizona.

My current interest is in the problem of establishing trust on the Internet, particularly for email systems. I have started a non-profit open-mail.org, which is sponsoring a Registry of Internet Transmitters. I am also the mail admin for box67.com, which provides the real-world experience I need to develop better models and systems.

Before I retire, I would like to put a big dent in the Internet crime problem. I believe the Registry will do that.
