He was employed as a mathematician by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for 36 years doing research of the environment, digital networks, and telecommunications. He also had a research contract with the University of Wyoming to develop methods to evaluate the performance of digital networks.
He has authored 10 books, more than 40 technical reports and lectures, and has been the subject of more than 20 media articles. He has discovered, and had published, two mathematical theorems of convex functions. He has been granted a patent with 67 claims that determines the logical way to combine the probabilities that a number of items of evidence prove a conclusion. He was the lead author of a six volume report that is the American National Standard (and the de facto world standard) method to evaluate the performance of the Internet and other digital networks. To create this standard, this author’s computer was the 23rd computer on the Internet. He has a bachelor and a master degree in mathematics from the University of Colorado – including extensive courses in biology, chemistry, and physics.
