He specialized in Accelerator Physics, RF Systems and, in later life, Chaos Theory. After working for Westinghouse Electric Company on radar equipment for aircraft in Pittsburgh, Dr. Katz moved to Saskatoon in 1946 to become an associate professor at the University of Saskatchewan. In collaboration with Drs. Haslam and Jones, he was part of the team that was successful in bring a Betatron to the U of S.
