Professor Fried joined the Brown faculty in 1964 after two years as a visiting research physicist at the Courant Institute of New York University. He was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at École Normale Supèrieure, Paris, during 1957-58, spent the next three years as an Instructor at UCLA, followed by a year as Visiting Member at the IAS, Princeton. Since coming to Brown, he has spent a total of seven professional years performing research and teaching in France (Universitè de Marseille, CEN de Saclay, Universitè de Nice, Observatoire de Nice). He is the author of the books: "Functional Methods and Models in quantum Field Theory", The MIT Press, Cambridge, USA (1972); and the "Functional Methods and Eikonal Models", `Editions Frontières, Gif-sur-Yvette, France (1990).
Prof. Fried was Director of the NATO Advanced Study Insitute "Vacuum Structure in Intense Fields", Cargèse (Corsica), France; Co-director of the Workshop"`Large-Scale Structure in Non-Linear Physics", Villefranche-sur-Mer, France (1990); and Co-Director of the Vth Blois Workshop on High-Energy Scattering, held at Brown in June 1993. He has been Co-Director of the Workshops "QCD Vacuum Structure", "Quantum Infrared Physics", and "QCD: Collisions, Confinement, and Chaos", held at the American University of Paris in June of 1992, 1994, and 1996, respectively; and will be Co-Director of the "Fourth Workshop on QCD", to be held there in June of 1998.
