John Boccio at home

His original area of interest was particle physics. 

Since coming to Swarthmore College, he has done research 
in the areas of computational physics using Monte Carlo
simulations for studies in lattice critical phenomena, and
fundamental quantum theory. He is  also beginning work on 
parallel computing simulations of galaxy-galaxy collisions 
using an AppleSeed Parallel Cluster.

He has also become an expert in scientific data visualization 
methodology. 

Over the past few years he has begun a major project centered 
around the writing of a quantum mechanics textbook and studying 
the foundations of quantum mechanics, especially logic structure, 
causality structure, non-linear aspects, and quantum measurement
as a self-organized critical phenomenon.
