Garwin was the author of the actual design used in the firsthydrogen bomb(code-namedMike) in 1952.He was assigned the job byEdward Teller, with the instructions that he was to make it as conservative a design as possible in order to prove the concept was feasible.He also worked on the development of the firstspy satellites, for which he was named one of the ten founders of national reconnaissance.While at IBM, his work on spin-echo magnetic resonance laid the foundations forMRI;he was the catalyst for the discovery and publication of theCooley–Tukey FFT algorithm, today a staple of digital signal processing; he worked ongravitational waves; and played a crucial role in the development of laser printers and touch-screen monitors.He has been granted 47 patents and has published over 500 papers.In December 1952, he joined IBM\'s Watson laboratory, where he worked continuously until his retirement in 1993.

And, in the 1960s, \"Jason scientist Richard Garwin, a nuclear physicist who, years before, helped design the Castle Bravo hydrogen bomb, held a seminar on the SADEYE cluster bomb and other munitions that would be most effective when accompanying the sensors\" of the electronic barrier in Vietnam, according to page 205 of Annie Jacobsen\'s book, \"The Pentagon\'s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America\'s Top Secret Military Research Agency,\" that Little Brown & Company, NY published in 2015. From 1993 to August 2001, he chaired the Arms Control and Nonproliferation Advisory Board of theU.S. Department of State. From 1966 to 1969 he served on theDefense Science Board.
