CONTINUING RESEARCH

My primary research interest for the past decade and the years come regards the pioneering American physicist and entrepreneur Dr. Robert Jemision Van de Graaff. He invented an early particle accelerator that, together with his lab & business partner Dr. John G. Trump, was used to not only split atoms but to treat cancer (among many other practical uses). Their company - High Voltage Engineering Corporation - was a pioneer as well and was the basis of my major research paper for my graduate studies (now complete).
