Retired nuclear EMP physicist. Dr. Curry holds a Ph.D. in nuclear physics from The University of Texas at Austin. He worked for over 35 years in applied nuclear physics performing research in Nuclear Weapons Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) phenomena, microwave radiation phenomena and safety, and radiation therapy medical physics to plan radiation treatments for cancer patients. His work in radiation therapy was conducted at the University of New Mexico Cancer Research and Treatment Center and at The University of Texas Medical Branch. His EMP research was conducted at Sandia National Laboratories, Kaman Sciences Corporation, and Mission Research Corporation, where he served as a senior scientist and group leader. He was the principal scientist and director of large government contracts with The Defense Nuclear Agency, The Office of Naval Research, and The Department of The Army. All of these EMP efforts involved developing large computer models of the applicable nonlinear physics. At Mission Research Corporation, he worked closely with Dr. Conrad Longmire, the first to explain the magnitude of High Altitude EMP (HEMP) and who, along with Dr. Marshall Rosenbluth, worked out the details of Edward Teller’s thermonuclear device.
