Neil J. Gunther is one of the most popular and richest Physicist who was born on August 15, 1950 in Preston, England, Australia. Gunther, an Australian of German and Scots descent, was born in Melbourne on the 15th August 1950. From 1955 to 1956, he attended Preston East Primary School and Balwyn North Primary school from 1956 to 1962. Gunther was ten years old when he received a copy of The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, a well-known book. Gunther was inspired by the book and began to experiment with various chemicals he had at home. His mother took him to a garage alcove where he made a small laboratory. It was stocked with industrial chemicals as well as second-hand laboratory glassware. Gunther was curious about how detergents and oils were made by using his fractionating column. He was particularly interested in mixing paints for both his art and chemistry classes at Balwyn High School. His father was the superintendent of Melbourne’s electric power station. He borrowed an organic chemistry book from the quality control laboratory chemists. This led to a passion for synthesizing Azo colors. At around age 14, Gunther attempted to predict the color of azo dyes based on the chromophore-auxochrome combination. This effort, aside from the creation of empirical tables, was largely in vain due to his ignorance of quantum theory.
Gunther was a professor of physics at San Jose State University between 1980 and 1981. Then he joined Syncal Corporation, which was a small company contracted NASA and JPL for the development of thermoelectric materials to support their deep-space missions. Gunther was asked by NASA to analyze the Voyager RTGs’ thermal stability data. He found that the soliton-based precipitation mechanism controlled the thermoelectric alloy of silicon- germanium, Si-Ge. JPL used his research to choose the next generation RTG materials for Galileo’s 1989 launch.
1989, he developed a Wick-rotated version of Richard Feynman’s quantum path integral formalism for analyzing performance degradation in large-scale computer systems and packet networks.
In 1990 Gunther joined Pyramid Technology (now part of Fujitsu Siemens Computers) where he held positions as Senior Scientist and Manager of the Performance Analysis Group that was responsible for attaining industry-high TPC benchmarks on their Unix multiprocessors. He also performed simulations for the design of the Reliant RM1000 parallel database server.
