Why Is Richard Fork Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Richard L. Fork was an American physicist. Dr. Fork received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics from Principia College in 1957, and earned his doctorate in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He began working for Bell Laboratories in 1962, and joined the faculty of Rensselaer Institute of Technology in 1990. Four years later, Dr. Fork left Rensselaer for the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Over the course of his career, Fork was granted fellowship of the American Physical Society and Optical Society of America. He retired in 2017 and died on May 16, 2018, of respiratory arrest in Huntsville. Dr. Fork also acted as a mentor who guided and assisted dozens of students pursuing optical/physics/laser based degrees at UAH.
