This discovery confirmed the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation as both a wave and a particle. Thomson was initially interested in astronomy before he shifted his focus to the study of quantum physics. He started his research in Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University and this research led to the discovery of Compton Effect. Later on, during the Second World War, Compton became head of the Manhattan Project’s Metallurgical Laboratory. Manhattan Project developed the first nuclear weapons of the world and Compton played a key role in it. He also served as Chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis. Under his leadership, the University made remarkable academic progress; the university formally desegregated its undergraduate divisions, named its first female full professor, and enrolled a record number of students.

Reviewer for the Journal of Chemical Physics. research UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DEPT. OF BIOCHEMISTRY & BIOPHYSICS San Francisco, CA experience Postdoctoral Fellow - Computational studies on a number of problems in comparative genomics and gene regulation. Advisor: Hao Li (2001- Present). Showed that selection affects the location of genes within mammalian genomes, and that genes are optimized for their mutational environment within the genome. Studied substitution patterns in yeast to show that the mutation rate is uniform genome-wide. Analyzed sequence conservation in yeast promoters to estimate the total amount of non-coding functional sequence in yeast, both genome-wide and in each promoter. Identified the yeast genes which are likely to be under the strongest or weakest transcriptional regulation.
