Biography:
Keith's first love is mathematics, especially numbers.  He enjoys using those numbers as a scientist, and has been involved in a wide variety of research using his background in chemistry, physics, and computer technology, often together.  He has studied liquids such as amorphous semiconductors, haloaluminate melts, and water within cellular membranes. He enjoys family history, except that solving one problem generates two more which are usually more than half as much fun to solve.


Current Research or Professional Activities:
Various axiom systems for geometry, ways to measure alpha (the electromagnetic fine-structure constant) and various pleasure/resource optimization issues.
