My Research Collaborations with German Scientists and Scientific Institutions over the Past Six Decades

Over the past six decades, I have maintained research connections with German scientists and scientific institutions while pursuing an academic career focusing on scientific discoveries of the physical properties of minerals at high pressures and temperatures. During this period, I have also visited many research laboratories in Germany, including Bayreuth, Berlin, Frankfürt, Giessen, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Kiel, Mainz, Marbach, Munich, Potsdam, and Stuttgart.  The objective of this paper is to relate this history.
