RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

2/81 - Present Research related to the bioeffects of continuous-wave and pulsed radiofrequency radiation (RFR). Several studies focussed on the effects of carrier frequency (350 MHz to 35GHz) and subject orientation relative to electric and magnetic (E&H) fields on the sites of energy deposition and consequent cardio-respiratory responses. Other studies investigated the effects of various adrenergic agonists and antagonists on the thermoregulatory responses of animals exposed to RFR. Current studies relate to the mechanism(s) of circulatory shock induction by millimeter-wave (35GHz) irradiation and to the effects of chronic, low-level RFR exposure on the promotion of mammary cancer.

8/72 - 1/81 Research related to the biochemistry and physiology of various freshwater mollusks. This included enzyme studies on the carbohydrases of the crystalline style and the digestive gland of selected mollusks - Trinity University.

Co-director of graduate research involving production of fetal hyaline membrane disease in rats - Trinity University.

Co-investigator in NSF-RULE (LOCI) and ISEP funded educational improvement grant - Trinity University

Co-director of graduate research related to autoregulation of cerebral blood flow in mammals - School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks AFB, TX.

Co-Director of graduate research related to the biological effects of chronic low-level microwave irradiation-Southwest Research Institute.

9/70 - 8/72 While on a Graduate College Fellowship, research sponsored by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers involved a comparative analysis of the carbohydrases of the brackish water clam, Rangia cuneata.

1970 Recipient of a National Heart Institute Fellowship to study at Baylor College of Medicine.

9/66 - 8/68 Masters research concerned with chemical radioprotection of mice and possible synergistic radioprotective activity between 2-Aminoethylisothiuronium (AET) and Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
