David Simon received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics from Ohio State University, followed by doctoral degrees in theoretical physics (Johns Hopkins) and engineering (Boston University). Originally trained in mathematical physics and quantum field theory, he now works primarily in quantum optics and related areas. He has been the author or coauthor of dozens of papers on topics ranging from the use of supersymmetry in quantum mechanics to the application of quantum entanglement to optical measurement and cryptography. After spending many years teaching physics and mathematics at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, he is currently a faculty member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stonehill College (Easton, MA) and a visiting researcher at Boston University.
