Tracing the Spark of Creative Problem-Solving

“In a just completed study, researchers at Northwestern University found that people were more likely to solve word puzzles with sudden insight when they were amused, having just seen a short comedy routine.” (emphasis added) Hurray for Comedy Central!

Srikumaran Melethil

Briefly, I am a pharmaceutical scientist, university professor (retired), and a patent attorney. I have also tutored 4th-11th graders in math. My CV (see link below) will tell you more about me. I created this website mostly for educational and informational purposes (please visit the publication section). Hopefully, you will find these writings useful. And, yes, if somebody can use my “skill sets”, as Liam Neeson of the “Taken” movies’ fame might say, that will be wonderful too! I can’t wait for his next movie! Really.
