His pioneering work on the two-dimensional x-y model has been exceedingly influential in many areas of physics and has garnered many citations.

Kadanoff hired him as a postdoctoral fellow thereafter during which time they wrote the ‘JKKN’ paper together with Scott Kirkpatrick and David Nelson.

From 2005-2010 he was the Vice President for Research of the ‘System University of New York’ at Buffalo and a professor of Physics and Biophysics.
