Nauenberg received his Ph.d in physics at Cornell (with H. Bethe) and taught at Columbia and Stanford before coming to the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1966. He was one of the founding members of its Physics Dept. where he is now Professor Emeritus. His primary research interests are in particle physics, condensed matter physics, and nonlinear dynamics, and he has written numerous articles in these areas publications. His most recent work is on a new quantum mechanical treatment of neutrino and neutral meson oscillations and on the dynamics of wave packets in weak external fields. He has had a long standing interest in the history of physics and mathematics, particularly during the 17-century, and published about a dozen articles on the works of Hooke, Newton and Huygens, and several reviews of recent books on Newton's Principia. He has been in various activities in the history of physics which have brought historians of science and physicists together. * Recollections of UCSC: 1966-1996 [PDF] Recently he helped organize the following meetings:
