Fundamental physics: published a more general version of the Einstein field equation, based on: no evidence light, photons, exert gravitational attraction. This general version of the Einstein equation is presented both as book chapters and in two instructional videos. We predict the release of energy from matter during supernovae explosions results in loss of much more gravitational attraction than currently believed; "nearby" SNe will be more easily detected by LIGO/Virgo/INDIGO/KAGRA than workers now expect. Cosmology: examining supernovae (SNe Ia) and HII burst emission data using the FLRW model; analyses of the current matter density and cosmological constant with lookback to recombination. Published one of the first articles on polytropic cosmology. Currently interested in the real meanings of the values for the spacetime parameters, K and Omega_k, of the FLRW model. The meanings for K and Omega_k, in reality, are not the same; the value of Omega_k includes spacetime magnitude and the influence of matter density. Produced instructional videos explaining the analytical techniques which should be employed for proper evaluation of SNe Ia data and where many (dozens) famous cosmologists have failed, dismally. Biophysics: spectroscopy; NMR, including paramagnetic (high- and low-spin Fe+3); infrared, including isotope shifts; UV-Vis; electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and even crystallography of the protective enzyme lactoperoxidase. Protein hydrodynamics; protein-protein interactions with effects of single amino acid (AA) mutations (SNP), Hb S, Hb C, many more SNP; kinetics and thermodynamics of protein stability/instability in mild, non-denaturing conditions. Biochemistry: large scale purification of single AA mutants, IgGs, lipoproteins (I hate lipoproteins). Development of new IgGs and IgYs for large-scale use in the clinical lab for plasma/serum tests, including development of a rapid, sensitive D-dimer test for widespread clinical use. Chemical modification of proteins, including coupling to solid surfaces, marker enzymes and protein masking. Developed gas permeable plastics. Development of several assays (ELISA, chromogenic assays, latex particle agglutination) for clinical use detecting blood clots (humans). Experience with commercial pharmaceutical lab instrumentation; hplc, gc, AA, ICP detection, semi-automated microbial analysis, microscopy of common bacteria. Genetics: helped develop data reference libraries including human cancer genetics. Present work includes large-scale purification of cytolethal distending toxin (CDT, known carcinogen) for studying the biophysics/cytology of colon cancer initiation and metastasis. Applied mathematics: computer programming for model comparisons, non-linear & linear regression, ANOVA, common comparison statistics (student`s t, Chi^2, etc.), FORTRAN, compiled Basic and Python programming languages. Applied QM (Density of States) calculations of model hemes with Xalpha approximation.
