Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience.

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

After a subsequent interview at Brooklyn Poly, I was hired, and life as a fully independent researcher began.

I have always loved going to school.

Growing up, mostly in Montreal, I was an only child of loving parents.

Life would be indeed easier if the experimentalists would only pause for a little while!
