He received his B.Sc. in mechanical engineering with honors in 1962 from Queen Mary College, University of London, and did economics and management studies, as well as advanced engineering studies at the University of Manchester. He has been an active member in ANS since 1968, having served on a number of committees and sections.

The American Nuclear Society is a professional organization of engineers and scientists devoted to the peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology. Its 11,500 members come from diverse technical backgrounds covering the full range of engineering disciplines.
