Quarks to Cosmos (ePub)

Ph.D. J. Mailen Kootsey is a multidisciplinary scientist and a pioneer in applying physical principles, mathematics, and computing to biology and medical physiology. In addition to research on heart muscle electrical activity, he has been an educator in multiple disciplines and a university administrator. Kootsey's education includes a Ph.D. in physics (Brown University) and four years of postdoctoral study in physiology (Loma Linda University School of Medicine and Duke University Medical School). He learned computer skills as the field developed, beginning with a primitive vacuum-tube computer in 1957 and later teaching computer-related subjects. Kootsey has been an active communicator with scientific colleagues and with the public. His scientific publications include 62 articles in scientific and technical journals, five chapters in scientific monographs, and more than 100 presentations at scientific conferences in the US and 18 other countries. Kootsey prepared consultant reports for corporations and agencies in the US, Canada, and Switzerland and received two patents. He has also written 15 printed and blog articles for general audiences and made more than 100 illustrated presentations. In addition to postdoctoral fellowship awards from the Bank of America Giannini Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, Kootsey received more than $10 million in research grant awards from the US National Institutes of Health and private foundations. One of these grants permitted him to establish and direct a National Research Resource in biomedical simulation at Duke University. This group developed software and mathematical techniques for modeling and simulating biomedical systems, distributing this package to 500 sites worldwide, and teaching week-long simulation workshops at 30 university sites in the US and Australia.
