Recollections by the author about how his interactions with John Wheeler influenced his career in physics.

In the period 1968 - 1974 I was a graduate student and then a postdoc at Caltech and was involved with the developments of the quark and parton models. Most of this time I worked in close contact with Richard Feynman and thus was present…

I have the rare experience of being on both sides of the mentor--undergraduate student relationship in the same program (Caltech's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, or SURF, program). In this essay, I will discuss how this…

In 1994, I came to Berkeley and was fortunate to stay there three years, first as a postdoctoral researcher and then as Neyman Visiting Assistant Professor. For me, this period was a unique opportunity to see other aspects and learn many…

I recount my personal experience interacting with Roman Jackiw in the 1980s, when we both worked on Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions.

We present our personal histories with Michael Fisher. We describe how each one of us first came to Cornell University. We also discuss our many subsequent interactions and successful collaborations with him on various physics projects.

In 1956 when I was a graduate student at the University of Rochester, the post doc Herman Winick arrived there, joined the group and we worked together with colleagues from different countries on low energy pion-proton elastic scattering at…

I met Peter J. Bickel for the first time in 1981. He came to Jerusalem for a year; I had just started working on my Ph.D. studies. Yossi Yahav, who was my advisor at this time, busy as the Dean of Social Sciences, brought us together. Peter…

During the period 1962--1964, I had a tenure track Assistant Professorship in Mathematics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where I did research in probability theory, especially on linear diffusion processes. Being somewhat lonely…
