Fun facts: the Coker
is a unit used in the oil processing industry. East
Coker is a small village in England. It's also the
title of a poem by T. S. Elliot. There is a Coker University in
South Carolina. Coker
is a very tiny town in the state of Alabama. In
fact there are four communities named Coker in the
USA and 2 communities named Coker in Nigeria.
Some students who received a Ph. D. under my supervision:
Sung Ho Salk, former director of the theoretical physics program at Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea; later visiting professor at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study. See also...
Jim Lynch, former chairman of the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Massachusetts, now Senior Scientist and recent award winner. Check out Lynch's new book here. Lynch was recently appointed editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.
Lanny Ray, former senior research scientist with the Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics group at the University of Texas at Austin.
Can you find Coker in this
1967 photo? Coker is the ONLY person shown in the
photo who is still active on the faculty. All
others are dead or long retired. Well, OK, can you find
Coker in this
faculty group photo from 2010?
A History of the Center for Nuclear Studies (1960 - 1975).
A biography of my long-time friend and collaborator Taro Tamura,
written by me, with contributions from other friends and
colleagues.
Physics professors get crackpot e-mails many times per
week. [The more famous the professor, the more he
or she gets.] Here's
a nice analysis of what such e-mails consist of, and why
physicists ignore them. Here
is a physicist who even made a little money answering
questions from crackpots.
Now then, about books...
