Hilliard Kent Macomber retired at the end of the 2000 spring semester and is now Emeritus Professor of Physics. He continues to work with Roger J. Hanson, also Emeritus Professor of Physics, on the nonlinear behavior of a vibrating wire (string), providing theoretical assistance for what is essentially an experimental project. His interest in physics and mathematics continues unabated and he remains a student of both.
