Richard G. Cox obtained his undergraduate degree in Physics at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo. While there he did temperature dependent (10 K to room temperature) Mössbauer spectroscopy on mammalian ferritin particles with an emphasis on superparamagnetic effects. This work was done under the supervision of Dr. Richard B. Frankel.

Since completing his B.S. he has been working in the Magnetics Laboratory at Colorado State University (CSU) where he hopes to complete his Ph.D. by the end of the Fall 2001 semester. His Ph.D. topic is concerned with high power nonlinear instability processes in Zn-Y type hexagonal ferrites. While at CSU he was twice been awarded the Magnetic Materials Producers Association (MMPA) scholarship and has had a four month internship with Seagate in Minneapolis MN. Richard is currently writing his thesis dissertation.
