from Los Alamos (where he was previously in the ISR division and the
 
Theoretical Astrophysics group) to work for Cygnus (now a part of Red Hat)
 
writing software and books for eCos, although he continued working on the
 
HETE-2 satellite (an astrophysical Gamma Ray Burst mission) part
 
time. Mark earned his BA in Physics at Reed College and a PhD from the
 
Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook. </p>
