Initiated field of laser beam shaping (1965)

Invented concept of the three-dimensional optical transfer function (1967)

Invented an “extrapolating pupil”, a pupil coating function that acts in real-time to extrapolate its aperture size, producing unlimited resolution (1969)

Invented maximum entropy (MaxEnt) image restoration (1972)

Developing EPI (Extreme Physical Information) principle for finding the probability laws governing unknown physical systems (1989-present)

Based upon use of EPI, showed that in situ breast cancer should grow with time t as simply t^g,  with g the Fibonacci golden mean 1.618… (2002)

Based upon use of  EPI, predicted that Fisher information should decrease (or stay constant) with time (1990)

Devised analytical expressions for the Weinberg-Salam angle and Cabibbo angle of particle physics (2002)
