Biography

Abstract

Jeremiah Sullivan was Emeritus Professor of Physics at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (2006-2016). His research interests included high-energy electromagnetic interactions and hadron-hadron processes at high energies. He was also interested in civilian and military uses of space, safe and secure dismantlement of nuclear weapons and disposition of fissile materials, technologies for enhancing the effectiveness of peace operations, arms control verification, and science and public policy.
