Bob is the Director of the BioFrontiers Center and a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS). An awardwinning teacher and researcher, his investigations have ranged from topics such as developing a theory for the Nobel Prize-winning Giant Magnetoresistance effect (with Jozef Barnas) to helping create a fastswitching liquid crystal filter for studying biological processes in live cells.

For his Fulbright Distinguished Chair award, Bob will be at The University of Newcastle working with Dr. Karen Livesey on approaches to killing cancerous tumors using magnetic nanoparticles. In his spare time he is a keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for the UCCS Physics Rock and Roll band.
