About
I’m a mathematician and physicist whose research focus is on quantum information, quantum foundations, quantum gravity, the foundations of mathematics and physics, and whatever else happens to interest me at a given moment. I am currently Acting Chair of the Department of Mathematics, Associate Professor of Physics, and Director of the Computational Physical Sciences Program at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH and I live on the lovely coast of Maine with my family. I am originally from Buffalo – and am proud of it so jokes will be deleted! As for Moxie, it is my favorite beverage…
I suppose I ought include here some things that I enjoy outside of physics (wouldn’t want people to think this stuff consumes my life). So, outside of physics I enjoy fishing (see the Trout category on the right), kayaking, hiking, writing, reading, music (listening, performing, and composing), staring at the stars, and a million other little things depending on the day. I have ADD and as a counselor once said, the danger for people with ADD is that they can potentially find just about anything interesting.

Durham-
Nice article about Tim.
Please allow this AK alumnus to make one major correction. It is John G. Sturm, SJ. Fr. Sturm has mellowed over the years (He is my patient); but, he would take issue with your neglect.
Fix it, mister!
Best wishes-

John, thanks for the correction!! Indeed, Fr. Sturm would be distressed. I shall change it.

[...] and at that time it was John G. Sturm, S.J. (awesome name for the position – and thanks to John C. Haumesser, MD, CHS ‘65 for making sure I wrote it the correct way!). Father Sturm was one of those guys who you could have [...]

Hi Dr Durham
Good to known you from your interesting web/blog page.
I was at the March meeting 2003 last time (with a generous donation from the Studsvik Nuclear AB), would like to go each year but currently limited by lack of funding. I go to conferences once or twice a year in europe, that is the limit.
In case you are interested, relevant to my this year’s March meeting abstract there is an eprint paper “Internally Electrodynamic Particle Model: Its Experimental Basis and Its Predictions”, (submitted, 2008); (preprint): arxiv:0812.3951.
(Fig 3 correctly should be a right-traveling EM wave).
Enjoy your talk and the rest conference.
Best regards,
J. Zheng-Johansson

Hi, Tim (if you don’t mind my calling you so). It’s me again, from Chile. I got a MSc in Physics from Georgetown University (that was in 1979, long ago); then I went to BU for a degree in Astronomy and Physics which I didn’t finish. When in the boston area, I visited New Hampshire and the coast of Maine.
As I told you before, I started my research life studying Eddington’s last books, and spend nearly 20 years doing that on and off. I wrote papers for the PIRT (Physical Interpretations of Relativity Theory) Conferences, which are held in London every two years since–at least—1988; in 2000, I finally managed to get there and meet the organizers.
Currently, I am trying to switch to another subject (probably fluid mechanics), but the subject of Eddington and the Dirac equation keeps reappearing in my field of vision. Oh, by the way, here nobody gives a hoot for it.
I am also an amateur mathematician with an interest in Euclidean geometry. I enjoy solving problemns from the Math and Physics Olympiads.
Other things I enjoy are: music, concertgoing, trekking (not done much lately, for economic reasons), writing (poetry and prose), moderate socializing, and cheese (I remember the Vermont cheddar).
See you…
