Janos Gottlieb in his office

This is me [Janos Gottlieb] in my office at the university.

I’m retired, still I go to the university every day; I have my place and my computer there.

The photo was taken in May 2006, it was my wife’s eightieth birthday.

I go to the university every day, because I'm still engaged in many scientific projects - not only here, but at home too -, and I kept this hobby of mine.

So I'm still busy with scientific matters; now I'm interested in these new issues, the fractals in physics; these are interesting issues, and I'm working on them.

I'm writing a book, it's about something else; however, it's a scientific work on external shapes mainly, and their application in physics.

Despite the whole story of deportation I think I had luck during my life. For mathematics is a hobby for me.

To be able to make my living of my hobby all my life, this is the first luck, and it's a wonderful thing.

My second hobby is music. Just a few can understand what music means for a person who feels it.

I often listen to music while working. The third thing is family life, which I found here, in Iasi.

I feel good in my family. What else could I wish?
