Morrison was born in Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. He received a B.S. (Hons) degree in physics with a mathematics minor in 1986 from Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY, and an M.S. degree in physics in 1989 from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY. In 1989, he joined the NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH, as a staff scientist in the solid-state physics branch and, in 1999, he transferred to the structures and dynamics branch. He has authored and coauthored several journal and technical articles associated with aerospace and electromagnetic devices. He holds several patents, including one on the Morrison Motor for which he won the 2004 R&D 100 Award, and software technologies used to control magnetic bearings. He is currently engaged in research associated with room temperature and superconducting reluctance motors, and Simulink Simulation of said motors. Mr. Morrison is a member of the American Physical Society and the National Technical Association. I would like to thank Dr. Isaiah Blankson for reading the manuscript, and for building and testing the Pi cluster. About the Reviewer Dr. Isaiah M. Blankson received his PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA. He is a specialist in hypersonic aerodynamics and propulsion. His current research involves the use of computational (CFD) and experimental methods for Magneto Hydrodynamic (MHD) energy bypass engine concepts for space-access vehicles, and non-equilibrium plasma for applications in hypersonic aerodynamics and propulsion. Previously, he was an aerospace scientist at the General Electric Global Research Center (CRD) in Niskayuna, NY. He has several US patents, including one on an MHD-controlled turbojet engine for space access, and another on an exoskeletal gas-turbine engine. He is the author of numerous technical publications, and an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Over the years, he has received many awards, including the distinguished presidential rank award for sustained superior accomplishment in 2012. As chief scientist at IMB and associates LLC, he develops and tests small-platform supercomputers for solving complex engineering problems.
