Birth and education

Brudner was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1931. He received his B.S. in Engineering Physics in 1952 and graduated cum laude from New York University. Two years later, he received his M.S. in Physics, and then his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in 1959, also from New York University.

Later years

He was President of Medical Development, Inc. originally in Jersey City, New Jersey and later in Fort Lee, New Jersey in 1962.
