Waves have perpetually captivated my scholarly interests, evoking an enduring fascination within me. In 2008, I attained my inaugural doctorate in the realm of macroeconomic wave theory from the prestigious Canadian Securities Institute. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, I subsequently embarked upon an in-depth exploration of earthquake engineering, culminating in the acquisition of my second doctorate. Once again, my scholarly pursuits centered upon the profound domain of wave theory. Should I choose to embark on the formidable path of a third doctorate, waves would unquestionably be the paramount subject of my scholarly endeavors. This unwavering conviction stems from the profound belief that waves constitute the fundamental underpinning upon which the intricacies of our world precariously hinge. Dr. Afshina July 16, 2023
