Physics research
30 years ago
altered prevailing
view of quantum
turbulent structure.
Later work in
nonlinear systems
has led to new
applications
ranging from
novel sensors
for US Navy
to models of
sensory nervous
system.
Known as the
discoverer of
the phenomenon
of stochastic
resonance as
a fundamental
process in the
sensory nervous
system in his
work in neurodynamics
at UM-St. Louis,
Dr. Moss has
taken an idea
from physics
and shown that
it applies not
only to sensory
neural coding
in the lowly
crayfish, but
in the human
brain as well.
In the 1970s,
he emerged as
a leader in
physics research
with his experiments
on superfluid
helium and obtained
the first measurements
of the fluctuation
spectrum of
quantum turbulence.
This altered
the prevailing
view of quantum
turbulent structure.
His trailblazing
work in physics
began a revolution
in thinking
about nonlinear
systems and
led to applications
ranging from
novel sensors
for the US Navy
to a new understanding
of the peripheral
nervous system.
