Hello, and welcome to the John Wambaugh Homepage! This page has been up and running for thirty years now, and I hate to take it down, but I only update the info every decade or so.

I live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

I am a research scientist, and you can find my publications on ORCiD and Google Scholar. I serve as president of GargAlum -- the alumni assocation of the the University of Michigan Gargoyle.

Thousands and Thousands served since 8 August, 1996

"There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
