Basic Concepts of Data and Error Analysis

Prof. Panayiotis Nicos Kaloyerou was born on 22/11/1954 in Larnaka, Cyprus. He obtained his PhD in Theoretical Physics in 1985 from Birkbeck College, London University, under the supervision of Prof. David Bohm, in which, based on Bohm's original idea, the Causal Interpretation of Boson Fields was developed. His first academic position was a Royal Society Fellowship held at the Institut Henri Poincaré (1987 - 1988). From 1990 - 1993, Kaloyerou held a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship at the University of Oxford. From 1993 to the present he has worked mostly in physics departments in Africa: The University of Swaziland (1993 - 1996), The University of Botswana (1996 - 2001), and The University of Zambia (2005 - present). His main publications include two Physics Reports articles: An Ontological Basis for the Quantum Theory: a Causal Interpretation of Quantum Fields, with D, Bohm and B. J. Hiley, (1987) and The Causal Interpretation of the Electromagnetic Field (1994).
