Want to operate a particle accelerator?

One of my coworkers got his masters in physics there working in that very department. What are you doing now if you don't mind me asking?

Actuarial consulting, mostly focused in OLAP/ROLAP/MOLAP. Merely a number cruncher for hire, so to speak. Data warehousing/mining also comes into play quite a bit, as well as a bit of system architecture. I am quite the jack of all trades, and hopefully beginning to master some of them.

Such a small world. During what time frame was your colleague at HEP?

Edit: Was never a physicist, btw. Was a pure mathematics undergraduate at the time, and eventually ended up being swept into the highly charged (no physics pun) actuarial world.

Late 90s I guess. He started at the Lab 2 years before I did and he came straight there from school. I started in 2001 myself.

rudder, just check my profile for my address. Make sure to remove the remove from the address.

I left in the first part of '96, and thus we either very briefly crossed paths, or I missed him entirely. After consulting the HEP faculty page, appears much of the same group is still there: Baer, the Hagopians, Prosper, Goldman, Wahl, etc (some have been working together since the '70s). They were certainly an eclectic bunch, but I enjoyed my time there, and enjoyed getting to know a number of them.

They were always cautious of the pure mathematical types, even moreso the kind that carts their bike (an old Trek that was unfortunately later stolen) up the elevator, and stored it in their office. Perhaps I fit into the eclectic group better than I realize.

There are times I miss the Keen building, and Tallahassee - was certainly an easier and slower paced life than Nyc. But I digress. Please pass along a tomahawk chop to your colleague from an alumni.

Sounds interesting, sent you an email.
