Dr. Reynolds received his B.A. in Physics from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1987, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1995. His dissertation was concerned with the role that waves play in the transport of energy and momentum in nonequilibrium plasmas. He then spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Plasma Physics Division of the Naval Research Laboratory, where he studied space plasma physics, and three years as a faculty member at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Howard University. In August 2001 he joined the faculty of the Department of Physical Sciences of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
He is
currently teaching physics courses
and also pursuing research into
fundamental issues of plasma physics and space
physics. For more information concerning his
research, see the links below.
His Erdos
number is 5, and his Bacon
number is 2. Therefore, his
Erdos-Bacon number is 7. (see here for details)
Invitation: Come by my office, we'll have a cup of and
talk about physics
(or chess). You can also
borrow a book from my library
(current listing is here). Or check
out this list
of books. My recent publications on arXiv can be found here.
Or, if you want a letter of recommendation, see here.
If you're interested in
the Standard Model of particle physics, you can read my
popular book "Fundamental
Physics in the Third Millennium." (or purchase
from Amazon)
If you want a textbook on Modern Physics (relativity and
quantum mechanics), you can read "Twentieth Century
Physics" (or purchase from Amazon)
