BIOGRAPHY of T. R. Coca The author has a rare combination of multi-disciplined education, a kaleidoscopic professional career and rich cultural background. His first love of Physics drove him to the pinnacle of leaning of Physics, as evidenced by the degrees he earned which are B.S., M.S., M. A., and Ph.D. While working as a Physics teacher and later as a Physicist at General Dynamics Corporation, TR pursued law to earn his J.D. and synergistically combined his scientific background with knowledge of the law and became an U.S. Intellectual Property attorney. TR has been admitted to practice in New York, Ohio, Vermont and the United States Patent Bar.

Prior to IBM, he capitalized as a Patent Lawyer at NCR and as a Senior Research Engineer at General Dynamics Corp. Of Indian heritage, TR has gainfully combined his rich and disciplined Indian cultural upbringing with the consensus building of the Japanese tradition that he was exposed to while living in Japan and the competitive and innovative work ethic prevalent in the United States.
