B.Sc. Chemical engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) M.Sc. Earth and planetary sciences, M.I.T. PhD Earth Sciences and Nuclear Physics Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This was followed by seven years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and nuclear physics. His formal theological training includes fifteen years of study under the late Rabbi Herman Pollack, Rabbi Chaim Brovender and Rabbi Noah Weinberg. The scientific career that Schroeder chose has given him varied and often unusual experiences. In his work with nuclear disarmament, he has been present at the detonation of six atomic bombs. Work in control of radioactivity has put him hundreds of meters below ground in U.S. and foreign uranium mines. The government of the People's Republic of China, during the decade before it established direct contacts with Israel, was willing to overlook his Jerusalem address and had him as a frequent advisor. He also consults for agencies of the governments of Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, USA. Invitations for him to lecture have come from around the world. He has over 60 publications in the world's leading scientific journals on topics ranging from the radon atmosphere of the moon (in Science) to the metabolism of mother's milk (in Nutrition Reports International). The results of Schroeder's work have been reported in Time, Newsweek, Scientific American and in newspapers as far apart as Boston and Adelaide. His formal training in chemistry, nuclear physics and the Earth and planetary sciences provides the basis for the broad scientific perspective he brings to his books and lectures. For the past twenty years, Dr. Schroeder has also pursued a study of ancient biblical interpretation. An ability to handle the biblical material in the original languages integrated with his background in the sciences allows him to tap the subtle depths contained in the original texts. These nuances are missed when working with translations. The uniqueness and success of Schroeder's approach is demonstrated by the success of his first book, GENESIS AND THE BIG BANG (published by Bantam Doubleday and now in seven languages), and the wide acclaim for his second book THE SCIENCE OF GOD (published by The Free Press of Simon & Schuster and Broadway Books of Bantam Doubleday) which was on the Barnes & Noble list of non-fiction best sellers and was Amazon.com's best selling book in the field of physics/cosmology for all of 1998. His most recent book is THE HIDDEN FACE OF GOD, discovering the unity that binds all existence (published by The Free Press of Simon & Schuster). His books appear in 9 languages. Gerald Schroeder lives in Jerusalem with his wife (the author, Barbara Sofer) and their five children. He moved to Israel from the USA in 1971. In addition to his current work in radiation control, he teaches at the Aish HaTorah College of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, and writes and lectures on the extraordinary confluence of modern science and ancient biblical commentary. Schroeder served in the IDF as did his two sons as officers. | |
