| Introduction | I was born July 21, 1950, in Levice, now Slovakia. In 1973, I received M.S. in Geology from the Komensky University, Bratislava. After moving to the United States in 1976, I commenced graduate studies at SUNY Buffalo in 1977, continuing in 1978 at SUNY Stony Brook, from where I received Ph.D. in Experimental Petrology in 1981. I spent the next 4 years as post-doc at the University of Chicago, returning in 1985 to SUNY Stony Brook. I became Research Assistant Professor in 1986 and Associate Professor in 1989 at the Department of Geosciences, where I currently hold this position. |
