Atlanta, GA. – An outspoken, Dr. Rashad Richey is an ally who speaks against racism and has utilized his various media platforms to support the ‘Stop Asian Hate’ movement in America, is also a doctoral research student in the Ph.D. in Quantum Physics program, recently invited as a Senior Researcher and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) through the School of Life Information Science and Engineering at Asia Pacific School of Business.
According to Science News Watch, this notable achievement that less than 1% of research scientists get to experience. Being accepted into IPAS is a rare and noteworthy achievement, illustrating a researcher’s competency and dedication to scientific innovation. IPAS is considered an elite research community, responsible for cutting-edge research, discoveries, and inventions, including technologies for national defense applications, communication and tracking technologies, agriculture, atmosphere monitoring, health, medical, and other notable discoveries.
IPAS has made significant contributions to virtually all fields of science and engineering, by bringing together experimental physicists, chemists, material scientists, biologists, experimentally driven theoretical scientists, and medical researchers to create new sensing and measurement technologies. Dr. Richey’s knowledge in the field of quantum physics, applied physics, theoretical physics, and social sciences will be invaluable in developing modern technologies and systems that can address some of the most pressing challenges facing society today. While Dr. Richey’s research focus has not been publicly disclosed, it is evident by his acceptance into the School of Life Information Science and Engineering at Asia Pacific School of Business and IPAS, that seasoned scholars and scientists were impressed with his research proposal and its potential impact, which is required for all doctoral research students before the program will grant an interview.
The Asia Pacific School of Business (APSB), which partners with notable institutions like Stanford University, Berkeley University, and others, is championed as a high-quality research university across a vast array of fields. The Asia Pacific School of Business is a member institution accredited and recognized by international academic accreditation bodies such as Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges & Universities (ASIC), Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE), the Association of MBAs & the Business Graduates Association (AMBA&BGA), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Quality Matters(QM), the EduTrust Education Quality Accreditation Association (EEQA) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
In addition, the Asia Pacific School of Business has become a member institution of renowned international organizations such as the South East Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO)、United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO-CHAIR)、United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA)、European Distance and E-learning Network (EDEN)、Asian Association of Open Universities (AAOU)、Association of Universities of Asia and The Pacific (AUAP) and United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC-UN). The University now has 7 research sub-fields, of which 100% were assessed to be an AISA-Business Class or above, including research in engineering, mathematics, science, medical and health sciences, agricultural sciences, artificial intelligence, and the arts.
Dr. Richey was selected for this prestigious institute of scientists, who rank at the top of their profession, by the School of Life Information Science and Engineering at APSB. Dr. Richey holds multiple advanced degrees, including three research-based doctoral degrees, completing doctoral studies at Clark Atlanta University in federal policy reform, Ph.D. studies from the Business University of Costa Rica, and fulfilled requirements for his Doctor of Law (LL.D. ) degree in International Law from Azteca University.
Dr. Richey also completed his Master of Science in Applied Physics and Quantum Mechanics from Universidad Empresarial de Costa Rica (Master’s Thesis: “Influence of Quantum Field Theory on the Comprehension of Nature and Consciousness in Ancient Cultures”), a Master of Science in Neuroscience from the University of Pacific (Master’s Thesis: Quantum Physics of Neuroscience Contextualized Through Human Neurological Applications: A Critical Analysis of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Declassified Gateway Process), and Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Beulah Heights University.
Black physicists are significantly underrepresented in research professions and academia, with Black quantum physicists being almost nonexistent. After being accepted into the Ph.D. in Quantum Physics program by the School of Life Information Science and Engineering at APSB, Dr. Richey was unwavering when selecting the partner institution, Clark Atlanta University, which serves as the American collegiate program research partner. According to one faculty member, Dr. Richey’s academic achievements are “more than rare” and “demonstrate a deep understanding of complex scientific knowledge and social applications. His ability to apply the discipline of physics to medical, health, and socially conscious endeavors, makes him a valued asset to the scientific community and APSB/IPAS research.”
Being an established social scholar who created the higher education learning model known as Theoretical Application Learning (TAL), Dr. Richey is also credited with the discovery of two quantum physics theories, the Quantum Phantasmagoria Effect (QFE) and the theory of Quantum Neuro-Mechanics (QNM), which are detailed in his theses. While these theories require more scientific research and rigor, many physicists in the quantum field genre are aligned with Dr. Richey’s theories. Notably, Dr. Richey theorizes that QNM is at the center of the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, which he contrastingly describes as ‘quantum-engagement’.
As a Senior Researcher at IPAS through APSB, Dr. Richey will have the opportunity to obtain funding for proposed research projects that align with IPAS research goals, work with some of the most talented scientists and engineers in the world, and be involved in cutting-edge research endeavors aimed at solving some of the most pressing challenges facing the global society today. His appointment and committee approval by noted scientists and scholars to IPAS is not only a recognition of his academic achievements but also a testament to his current scientific prowess and projected scientific research.
IPAS has been at the forefront of research into the applications of photonics in medicine, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. The Institute’s research has led to the development of modern technologies being used in medical diagnostics, such as non-invasive imaging, and in precision agriculture, such as monitoring plant health and optimizing crop yields, which could have a significant impact on developing regions. Some of IPAS’s other notable discoveries include the development of advanced materials for use in energy storage and the creation of ultra-precise clocks that can be used in navigation and satellite communications. The Institute’s research has also led to new insights into the fundamental properties of light and matter, which have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe and the natural world.
With an already robust career as a national thought leader, broadcaster, and social science professor, Dr. Richey’s appointment at IPAS through APSB is a significant development that highlights his keen capacity for high-level learning and the Institute’s commitment to advancing scientific knowledge by developing innovative technologies that improve lives. We can expect to see groundbreaking discoveries and innovations coming from Dr. Richey’s Senior Fellow status.
