Michael Gerver

Went to Brandeis, majoring in physics, graduated in 1970. Got PhD in physics at UC Berkeley in 1977, with thesis in plasma physics. Postdoc and research scientist at Cornell University, Laboratory of Plasma Studies, 1976-79. On research staff at MIT Plasma Fusion Center, and one year in Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 1979-1989. Senior engineer at SatCon Technology Corp., in Cambridge, doing research in motors and actuators, smart materials, vibration control, etc., 1990-1997. Independent consultant 1997-2000. Moved to Raanana, Israel in 2000. Worked at GE Medical Systems in Haifa, doing research on MRI, 2000-2001. Since 2001 I have worked as a patent agent, on biomedical instrumentation and other physics-related patents, at patent law firms, first at Fenster & Co., and since 2007 at Ehrlich & Fenster in Ramat Gan.

The things that stick most in my mind from my B-CC days, after all these years, are the Math Club/Math Team, and Mr. Steele's AP physics class, senior year.
