He has served as professor, vice-chancellor and college president at three major Chinese universities: Tsinghua University, Harbin Medical University, and Harbin University of Commerce.
His wide-ranging interests, besides quantum physics and mathematics, include metaphysics, ancient and medieval cosmology, astronomy, James Joyce, Greek and Chinese philosophy, and psycholinguistics.
His books include, among others, two novels -- Time Currents (sci-fi) and Acid Reign; Einstein’s Lament – a collection of epic poems and essays on quantum physics; Word Power—a textbook and teaching encyclopedia of English word origins for university students, written in English and Chinese; Waterlogged Chopstix -- a travel book and cultural handbook for foreign residents of China; The Comic Apocalypse—a study of and guide to James Joyce’s Ulysses; and original translations, French into English, of Vertigo of the Void and Being and Time by French philosopher Eugene de Grandry, for which he was awarded the coveted Grand Prix Humanitaire de France, for “services rendus aux lettres.”
Prof. deJavanne served as Senior Editor of International Review of the Arts, and Associate Editor of Heartland Magazine, the Los Alamos Independent and The Inkslinger’s Review. A pianist and composer as well, he has two music CD’s to his credit: “Live at the Palace” and “The Phantom of the Piano.”
He has four grown children who have so far produced eight grandchildren including two sets of twins. Residing in Harbin, China (next door to Siberia), he winters gratefully each year at his other home in Phoenix, Arizona.weniger sehen
