I hold a general teaching license from the Nevada Department of Education, specializing in mathematics, physical science, and physics. I received the ETS (Educational Testing Service) Recognition of Excellence, finishing in the top 15%, for my performance in the mathematical content examination. I have also been a licensed substitute teacher in the Clark County (Nevada) School District, teaching mathematics and other subjects. I taught for five years at the Physics Department of Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. The second year elective course that I developed, "Physics of the Environment," was later published as a book. I have been a professor at the local University of Phoenix, teaching mathematics and business statistics. I also was a visiting professor in the School of Environment and Forestry and Department of History of Science and Medicine at Yale University. I have also tutored students, both in high school and adults, for the GED, SAT, GRE, Nevada Math Proficiency Exam, and other standardized tests. I was formerly a senior-risk-assessment expert at the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I have been a principal scientist at Westinghouse Savannah River Co., Aiken, South Carolina, where I performed research on risk and energy. I hold a B.S. from McGill University, Montreal, Canada; an M.S. from the University of Illinois, Urbana; and a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma, Norman, all in physics and mathematics. I am the author of eight books. I have published about 150 scientific articles and reviews on subjects such as risk analysis, environmental quality, physics, nuclear energy, economics, mechanical engineering, and sociology of science in such journals as Science, Nature, Risk Analysis and Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. I have written over 200 newspaper columns and op-ed pieces in such papers as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and the Christian Science Monitor. My work has been cited 1,070 times in the scientific literature, including 280 books and monographs. I have been cited in nine foreign languages (German, French, Hungarian, Danish, Finnish, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish) in the books that quoted me, as well as other languages in journal articles. In terms of risk analysis, I have lectured on the subject in many states and in 15 countries. I have been the author of four encyclopedia articles. I am a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society, was elected to its International Board of Directors, and served for three years as chair of its Public Policy Committee. I have been on the editorial board of three journals: Risk Analysis, Risk Abstracts, and Scientometrics (sociology of science).
