About Pui-Tak (Peter) Leung

Pui-Tak Leung is a professor in the Physics department at Portland State University.
On Research: when research cannot be measured with "the shock from a discovery"; "the excitement from a breakthrough"; "the realization of an imaginative idea"...; you measure it with money!
On Teaching: you can only become a successful teacher when you feel more joy in bringing up others than in bringing up yourself!
On Doing Physics: if I can survive in a Physics Department only by not doing physics, I'd rather become a patent officer!

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool." -- RP Feynman
