About the Author

Leon Gunther has been on the Physics Department faculty at Tufts University since 1965. He got his PhD in Physics from MIT in 1964 and has published over 100 articles, the vast majority being in the field of Condensed Matter Theory. Most notable were his papers on low-dimensional systems, which were the forerunner of Nanoscopic Physics. His seminal papers on the quantum behavior of nanoscopic magnets at low temperatures reflect current research in the development of computer hard drives having a higher capacity. Having begun studies of the violin at the age of seven, he has played in numerous Community Symphony Orchestras, most notably the Newton Symphony, is currently a member of the Wellesley Symphony Orchestra. In 1994, he founded the community chorus of Temple Emunah in Lexington, MA, known as the Mak'haylah. Programs include music of a wide range of genres - folk, liturgical, and classical. His compositions and arrangements include Hebrew renditions of three movements of the Brahms Requiem.
