Edwin Zong has completed his Medical Degree from Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine and New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is the Medical director of Oasis Medical Group Inc. and Laser Neutrino Annihilation Synergistic Applicator LLC, He has published more than 20 papers in reputed journals.

Astronomy

John Morrison received his PhD in physics from Johns Hopkins University. After working as a research associate at the Argonne laboratory, he moved to Sweden where he received a grant from the Swedish Research Council to build up a research group in theoretical atomic physics at Chalmers University of Technology in Goteborg, Sweden. His work to build a research group in Sweden led to the publication of the monograph , “Atomic Many-body Theory”, which originally appeared as Volume 13 of the Springer Series on Chemical Physics. The second edition of this book has become a Springer classic. He continues to carry on research in atomic and molecular physics at University of Louisville and has recently published a textbook “Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers” (Elsevier, 2nd Edition 2015) which provides an overview of contemporary physics.

Robert Zurmuhle obtained his PhD in 1960 from the University of Zürich, Switzerland. He left Zürich in 1961 for the University of Pennsylvania, initially for a two year stint in postdoctoral studies, then in 1963 he accepted Penn's offer to remain there as professor until 1997 when he retired. He now lives in Lucerne, Switzerland. He has published around 150 papers covering a wide range of topics in nuclear physics including gamma-ray capture reactions, particle gamma-ray double and triple angular correlation studies with light and heavy ions, accelerator mass spectroscopy and also on innovative developments of nuclear instrumention in reputed journals.
