Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania 16801, USA
Steven L. Garrett received his PhD in physics at the University of Califor- nia, Los Angeles in 1977. He continued
research in quantum fluids at the University of Sussex, Brigh- ton, United Kingdom, as the first Hunt Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, followed by two years at the University of California, Berkeley as a Fellow of the Miller Institute. Dr. Gar- rett joined the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School in 1982 and became the United Technologies Professor of Acoustics in the Graduate Program in Acoustics at Penn State University, University Park, in 1995. He retired from Penn State in 2016 and is now a freelance physicist. Have calculator, will travel!
