Ludwik Kowalski is a retired physics teacher (Professor emeritus, Montclair State University, New Jersey, USA). He and his wife, Linda, live in Fort Lee, close to New York City. Born in 1931, Ludwik is still able to enjoy downhill skiing, walking and traveling. Educated in the Soviet Union (elementary school, until 1946), in Poland (high school and master's degree), and in France (Ph.D. in nuclear physics), he came to the United States in 1964. Ludwik Kowalski is the author and co-author of about one hundred scientific publications, plus one elementary physics textbook.
Since retiring, in 2004, he has been involved in four kinds of activity:
A) Reading and thinking about education, especially in connection with negative aspects of computer-based artificial intelligence.
B) Investigations of so-called cold fusion, as shown at
< http://csam.montclair.edu/~kowalski/cf/ >
C) In the summer of 2008 Ludwik's book on Stalinism was self-published. It is dedicated to all Stalin's victims, including his father (who died in a Siberian labor camp, at the age of 36). Ludwik is trying to promote this easy-to-read educational book; royalties go to a scholarship fund at Montclair State University. Excerpts can be seen at
D) Writing and publishing short articles on various topics. Some of these are posted at his own website, others are published as OpEd items, usually at
