After graduation, he stayed on as Assistant Professor of Physics. In 1965, he was appointed Associate Professor in the College of Engineering at Cornell. Later appointments at Cornell included membership in the Center for Applied Mathematics and the Department of Applied & Engineering Physics. Fulbright Program and Solvay Fellowships supported three sabbatic leaves abroad. He was appointed Full Professor in 1970. His research was supported by AFSOR and ARO. In 1969, he chaired the first International Meeting in Kinetic Theory, sponsored by the NSF and co-chaired by N. Rostoker. Cornell is the name of some places in the United States of America. ...

Among his publications, three works are of particular note:
- With a student (G. K. Schenter) a second order non-linear differential equation was solved analytically . One of the three solutions has physical relevance. It is a generalized Fermi-Dirac equation relevant to high-field transport in a semiconductor.
- An ideal dynamical system was shown to be irreversible.
- It was found that a particle confined to a rectangular domain is, in general, quantum chaotic.
At present he is Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Central Florida. At many universities the honorary title of Distinguished Professor is given to a small number of members of the faculty who are recognized by colleagues throughout the world as leaders in their fields. ...
