Prof. Dr. Norman J. Morgenstern Horing studied undergraduate physics at the City Collage of New York, CUNY, under Prof. Dr. Mark Zemansky, and completed his doctoral thesis research at Harvard University with Prof. Dr. Julian Schwinger in 1964.  He worked for five years as a staff physicist at the MIT Lincoln and National Magnet Laboratories, following which he was invited to the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, England, as a Visiting Lecturer for the year 1965 in the group of Prof. Dr. Sir Nevill Mott.  After another year at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Semiconductors Branch, Washington, D.C., he joined the Dept. of Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology as Assistant Professor in 1966, rising to Associate Professor (1969) and Professor (1975).  He retired as Professor Emeritus in 2016 after fifty years of faculty service, but continues in semiconductor physics research.  Dr. Horing’s work has been focused on the use of quantum field theoretic Green’s function methods in statistical physics and many-body problems, correlation phenomena, collective modes in low dimensional systems, superlattices, nanostructures, Dirac-like materials. His research activities also include quantum transport/magnetotransport, van der Waals interactions, Landau quantization phenomenology and, most recently quantum statistical thermodynamics of low dimensional/nanostructure/Dirac systems.  Dr. Horing has published over 350 articles in refereed physics research journals or invited book chapters; and he authored/co-authored five advanced physics books.
