Dr. Robert G. Watts is the Cornelia and Arthur L. Jung Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Tulane University. He holds a BS (1959) in mechanical engineering from Tulane, an MS (1960) in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD (1965) from Purdue University in mechanical engineering. He spent a year as a Postdoctoral associate studying atmospheric and ocean science at Harvard University. He has taught advanced applied mathematics and thermal science at Tulane for most of his 43 years of service to that university. Dr. Watts is the author of Keep Your Eye on the Ball: The Science and Folklore of Baseball (W. H. Freeman) and the editor of Engineering Response to Global Climate Change (CRC Press) and Innovative Energy Strategies for CO2 Stabilization (Cambridge University Press) as well as many papers on global warming, paleoclimatology energy and the physic of sport. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
