Publications listed below are from a list of 88 peer-reviewed publications in professional journals, with 21 being as an experimental elementary particle physicist with post-doc and junior faculty appointments at Harvard, Rockefeller University, and Michigan State University, and visiting scientist appointments at the Centre Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN), Brookhaven, and Fermilab. Approximately 40% of my time during my 33 years at the Parnassus Campus was in clinical anesthesia teaching and care in the Moffitt-Long Hospital Operating rooms, with an emphasis on anesthesia for neurological surgery.
