A theoretical nuclear physicist, he is the author of numerous technical articles in physics. He is a professor emeritus of physics, having taught for four decades at the University of Mary Washington, an adjunct professor at the University of Virginia, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.[2] He lectures around the world on his expertise in the "A-subjects" – art, archeology, astrophysics, atomic physics and Atatürk ... while claiming little knowledge in the "B-subjects" – business, banking, biology ... He is currently the President of the Atatürk Society of America,[3] dedicated to the ideals of the founder of the modern Republic of Turkey, most importantly, the secular governance.
An artist, his works have been exhibited in one-man shows in London and Washington D.C., and his books of lithographs – "Lands of Washington: Impressions Ink" and "Oxford and the English Countryside: Impressions of Ink" – were both published by Eton House in the 1970s, but are no longer in print. Copies of his books of lithographs can be found in the permanent collections of the White House, the Smithsonian Institution and Buckingham Palace.
He frequently serves as a special topics lecturer on board ships of the Crystal Cruise Line[4] and Seabourn Cruises.[5]
