John Boccio at home
His original area of interest was particle physics. Since coming to Swarthmore College, he has done research in the areas of computational physics using Monte Carlo simulations for studies in lattice critical phenomena, and fundamental quantum theory. He has also worked on parallel computing simulations of galaxy-galaxy collisions using an Macintosh Parallel Cluster. He has also become an expert in scientific data visualization methodology. Over the past few years he has begun a major project centered around the writing of a quantum mechanics textbook and studying the foundations of quantum mechanics, especially logic structure, causality structure, non-linear aspects, quantum measurement as a self-organized critical emergent phenomenon and stochastic processes in quantum measurement theory.
