On June 28, 1957, he emigrated to the United States via [[Operation Paperclip]], sponsored by an [[United States Department of the Army|Army]] contract with [[General Mills]]. The contract was cancelled shortly afterwards, so he hired on as principal scientist at the Johns Hopkins [[Applied Physics Laboratory]], where he worked on satellite transponder communications. He became a U.S. citizen in 1962.
