In 1959, after marrying Inge Hecht, he started work as a member of the Technical Staff of the RCA Laboratories in Zurich (Switzerland). In 1961 he moved to the RCA labs in Princeton, NJ, USA moving to Brown University (Providence, RI) in 1964 where he became an associate professor of physics in 1964 (full professor in 1966).
