1928 (age 79)

McCormick took his Bachelor of Science in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1950, followed by two years on a Fulbright Scholarship to Cambridge University, England. He then became a Postdoctoral Fellow at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 1957 McCormick accepted a post as staff physicist at the Alvarez Hydrogen Bubble Chamber Group at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. In 1960 Doctor McCormick began 12 years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he was a professor of physics, computer science, and bioengineering. Afterwards, he served as head of the electrical engineering and computer science department at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In August 2005 Doctor McCormick retired from Texas Agricultural and Mechanical but continued his research there, exploring and understanding the complexity and scaling properties of the brain"s microcircuit structure. McCormick died the first week of December 2007 in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

Achievements

There he studied quantum field theory with Professor Paul Dirac, founder of the field of quantum mechanics and holder of the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Professor Erwin Schrödinger. The Chamber Group was led by Doctor Luis Alvarez, who later won the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physics.
