He is presently a semi-retired Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. As a physicist, he performed high-energy-density experiments at high power laser and pulsed power facilities to validate simulations of astrophysical phenomena and inertial confinement fusion.
Bernhard has been collecting banknotes and associated ephemera for the last 25 years. One of his numismatic specialties is the 19th century intaglio engraving and printing process for obsolete US and chartered Canadian banknotes. These studies include all the illegitimate machinations of contemporary counterfeiters. Today we will hear about his study of the history of the Niagara Region as seen through the banknotes, stocks, and bonds of the world.
