Curriculum vitae

He was born in Gyor (Hungary) in 1924; upon graduating from the Jedlik Preparatory School and Junior College there he entered the Benedictine Order in 1942. After completing his undergraduate training in philosophy, theology and mathematics in 1947, he went to Rome to do graduate work in theology at the Pontifical Institute of San Anselmo, where he received the doctorate in December 1950. In 1948 he was ordained a priest.

An extended version of his doctoral dissertation was published by Casa Editrice Herder (Rome) in 1956 under the title,Les tendances nouvelles de l'ecclésiologie reissued in 1963 owing to renewed interest in the topic during Vatican II.

From early 1951 he taught systematic theology at the School of Theology of St. Vincent College, Latrobe, Pa. At the same time, he attended in the same college courses in American history, literature, mathematics and sciences to secure American recognition of his undergraduate training done in Hungary. The bachelor of science degree was awarded him by St. Vincent College in 1954.

In September he enrolled in the Graduate School of Fordham University to work for an advanced degree in physics. His doctoral research was carried out under the mentorship of the late Dr. Victor F. Hess, the discoverer of cosmic rays and a Nobel-laureate, and was published in the June 1958 issue of Journal of Geophysical research (pp. 378-89) under the title, "A study of the Distribution of Radon, Thoron, and their Decay Products above and below the Ground."

Between 1958 and 1960 he did research in the history and philosophy of physics at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

From 1960 to 1962 he was Visiting Fellow in the Program for the History and Philosophy of Science at Princeton University.

During the years 1962-65 he wrote The Relevance of Physics (University of Chicago Press, 1966) of which Prof. W. Heitler wrote in American Scientist: "The appearance of this book is an event of no small importance...I suggest...to make Jaki's book...compulsory reading for all scientists, students, and professors."

From 1965 he has been on the Faculty of Seton Hall University, where he was promoted in 1975, to the rank of Distinguished University Professor.

During the academic year 1966-67 he was associated with the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J.
