After training in physics during World War II, I spent 2 years designing radar at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then switched to biophysics. After medical school and a residency, I was doctor drafted to National Institutes of Health where I studied blood gas transport in hypothermia and developed the carbon dioxide electrode and the blood gas analyzer (pH, partial pressure of O2, and partial pressure of CO2). I joined the University of California San Francisco in 1958 in a new anesthesia department and new Cardiovascular Research Institute. My research aims were anesthesia patient monitoring, respiratory physiology, blood gas transport, and high-altitude acclimatization and pathology.
二战期间接受物理学训练后，我在麻省理工学院花了两年时间设计雷达，之后转向生物物理学领域。完成医学院学业并经历住院实习后，我应征进入国立卫生研究院，在那里我研究了低温状态下的血气运输，并研发出二氧化碳电极和血气分析仪（测量pH值、氧分压和二氧化碳分压）。1958年，我加入了加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校，该校有一个新的麻醉科和新的心血管研究所。我的研究目标包括麻醉患者监测、呼吸生理学、血气运输以及高原适应与病理学。
