I will try to not go back into ancient history, nor write my whole autobiography here, so I will start with the relatively recent. I attended the University of Missouri-Rolla for too many years, and upon completion of my courses (whew!) I received a bachelor's of science degree in physics (yes, that is right, I said physics). Then, after trying to find a good job in the post cold war market (this was a bad time for scientific types to locate technical jobs), I went to graduate school at the Southwest Missouri State University in the material science program where I was doing research into producing the equipment to evaporate materials by the use of an electron beam gun and deposit them onto a surface one layer at a time, and the equipment used to spectrally analyize the samples. I recieved my masters degree in December of 1998. Now I'm attending the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, to work towards my PhD in solid state physics in the field of conductive polymers.
