Dr Adi Bulsara (Class Of 1966)

I live and work in San Diego, CA. At the US Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (big US govt think-tank) where Im a senior scientist and group leader. I head a large group that does some pretty far-out research in nonlinear dynamic systems and applications to things like smart devices/sensors and other applications. I also do a fair bit of research in theoretical neuroscience... figuring out how neurons encode and transmit information in the CNS. If you're curious about what I do, you can look me up in Google Scholar; somehow they have all my papers of the last 20 years. I don't have a personal website (too much trouble and not enough time). I do travel a hell of a lot, to meetings etc and like it a lot. I'll spend the upcoming summer in London (spent the last 2 summers there as well) as a visiting scientist at the US Office of Naval Research. I got my PhD in physics-mathematics at the Univ of Texas at Austin in 1978..

I have 2 kids: Cyrus is 25 and working for KPMG (big accounting firm) in Long Beach, CA, and Nicole is 21 and in her third year of college (in SD). My wife, Marcia, is a physio-therapist. I look more or less the same...a bit heavier and my hair is greying (though not all grey as yet). I continued with the bike racing (in fact at one point I was pretty hardcore, training 300+ miles per week and racing at the national level) until about 7 years ago when I had two pretty bad accidents one in Stockholm and the other in Bangkok. They were both off small boats and destroyed both knees. The racing came to a crashing stop and I've had 8 operations on the two knees. I can walk and go to the gym to exersise, but have problems with lower back pain (becaue I walk asymmetrically).
