Biography

Richard McCall is a professor emeritus at the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy (UHSP) in St. Louis, Missouri. He earned a PhD in physics from Ohio State University with an emphasis on optical properties of organic semiconductors and conducting polymers. Further research involved the study of time-dependent and temperature-dependent behavior of photoexcited defect states in these materials. Later, he developed a strong interest in physics education. At UHSP St. Louis, he taught physics and math, focusing on applications to the human body. Interestingly, he found similar mathematical patterns for drug concentrations in the body and for defect states in polymers.

Richard lives in the metropolitan area west of St. Louis, Missouri. He enjoys spending time with family, especially his three grandchildren.
