About Jeffrey Gold

Jeffrey Gold is a renaissance man and polymath who started out in Physics and Mathematics at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Finding Academy life not suitable for his life's ambitions and the scientist/artist way of life, he finished up his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Utah. While at the University of Utah he became distracted with the problem of the twin primes (number theory) and spent eight out of the nine years working feverishly to solve it alongside his mentor Don H. Tucker. Their combined work, and other independent researches in physics, resulted in his eight scientific publications as an undergraduate. Also an undergraduate research assistant, he worked in such diverse areas of physics as thermoacoustics, magnetoencephalography, thin film sputtering and metal evaporation, and photoluminescence. After the University of Utah, Jeffrey was accepted into the MPhil Programme in Microelectronic Engineering and Semiconductor Physics at the world renowned Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, at Cambridge University. There he enjoyed the history of the "town and gown" while a member of Fitzwilliam College.After attending Cambridge University, where he executive produced the documentary 'Children of the Wind', as a lifetime member of the Cambridge Film and Television Society, he was accepted to the prestigious London International Film School in 1997.
