Dr. Ronald E. Mickens
Ronald E. Mickens graduated summa cum laude from Fisk University in with a BA degree in physics and mathematics. His graduation honors included election to Phi Beta Kappa in his senior year. Doctoral studies in theoretical physics were completed in at Vanderbilt University. As a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at M.I.T., Dr. Mickens carried out research on the properties of scattering amplitudes from strongly interacting particles at high energies. In , he returned to Fisk University to teach and do research.
Dr. Mickens’ major research activities from were centered on the application of scattering theory to problems in particle physics and chemical reaction rate theory. During , he began a study of nonlinear, ordinary differential equations. One of the results of this research, which included the investigation of the construction of uniformly valid, asymptotic solution to both second-order and coupled first-order equations, was the writing and publishing of a book on one-dimensional, nonlinear oscillator equations.
In , while a Visiting Research Fellow at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (Colorado), Dr. Mickens bega
Ronald Mickens
Ronald E. Mickens, mathematical physicist, researcher, and university professor, was born on February 7, in Petersburg, Virginia to Daisy Brown Mickens and Joseph Mickens. Some people wait until college to decide what they really want to do in life, but Ron was one motivated youngster. “Even at two or three years of age, I was curious about the ‘workings’ of the universe and of the human mind,” says Ron. Ron&#;s maternal grandfather, who was highly educated and interested in the sciences and math, encouraged his curiosity and introduced him to a scientific way of looking at things. “He taught me the rules of various games and explained to me that ‘valid reasons’ existed to understand physical phenomena,” Ron says.
Mickens graduated from Peabody High School a year early in and received a full scholarship from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Mickens graduated summa cum laude from Fisk in with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and mathematics. He completed doctoral studies in at Vanderbilt University, earning a PhD in theoretical physics. As a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge,
