Who I Am
Bernard B. Beard, itinerant seeker of enlightenment. Husband, father, son,
brother, friend, teacher. Oh, also: rocket scientist, nuclear physicist, curmudgeon.
Where I've Been
Hawaii, Japan, California, Texas, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Bulgaria,
Florida, Tennessee, and Italy are all places I've lived more than two weeks. Not
counting side trips to Mexico, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana,
Colorado, France, Washington, Washington D.C., New York, Grand Cayman, New
Hampshire, Maine, Monaco, Ohio, Greece, Utah, Vermont, Scotland, England,
Wisconsin, Illinois, and Switzerland,
and passages through Arkansas, Virginia, Arizona, Maryland, West Virginia,
Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas,
South Carolina, New Mexico, Mississippi, Austria, Rhode Island, Nevada,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Michigan.
Not in that order.
Well, I've never been to Spain.
What I've learned
Not much.
Research Interests
I was once a grad student at the
Center for Theoretical Physics, which in turn is associated with the
Laboratory for Nuclear Science at
MIT. My research interests include
lattice gauge theory and the development of interesting algorithms for
spin and quantum link models. I occasionally work on improvements to cluster
algorithms. Here's a link to my thesis.
I am currently working on the Ares I launch vehicle, as a consultant
with ARES Corporation in Huntsville, AL.
