Dr.
Doorish is a Theoretical Physicist. He holds degrees in Physics from St.
John's University (BS,1980) and MS(1985) in Applied Physics from Columbia
University and a Doctorate(1988) in Mathematics from Columbia University.
He has done Postdoctoral Research(1993-1994) in Geophysics at Princeton
University. He has also been a professor of Physics at the Borough of
Manhattan Community College/CUNY and at Wagner College in Staten Island.
Dr. Doorish's main area of research is stellar structure and evolution and
the early Universe. He has published papers in several research journals
around the world and given many lectures on his research in South America,
Europe, as well as in the United States. Dr. Doorish's interests go beyond
astrophysics however. At present, Dr. Doorish is the President and Founder
of Doorish Tech,INC., a company devoted to the research and
development of an ARTIFICIAL RETINAL PACKAGE (ARP) for the blind. Dr.
Doorish holds patents for a very unique theory for an implantable
artificial retina for the blind. The goal of this project is to restore
some semblence of vision to those people suffering blindness from retinal
degenerative diseases. The following detail some conference presentations
and then some publications: CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS: 1. Second
