{Research Physicist $\cdot$ Professor $\cdot$ Patent Clerk}
{
When I am not reviewing patents, I carry out thought experiments.\\
My interests span from pollen grains to synchronizing clocks on moving trains.\\
I wrote a small number of articles that attracted a decent amount of attention.\\
I also designed large unifying theories and models that turned out to be\\
surprisingly powerful and robust.% Do NOT end with a newline

\simplequote{Success is a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.}{Jim Rohn}

\simplequote{The people that really create the things that change this industry are both the thinker and doer in one person. [...] It’s very easy to say "I thought of this three years ago". But usually when you dig a little deeper, you find that the people that really did it were also the people that really worked through the hard intellectual problems as well.}{Steve Jobs}
