He is a second-generation graduate student of Nobel Laureate Enrico Fermi, and spent his early post-doctoral years (1961-66) serving as Assistant Professor under Nobel Laureate Luis Alvarez at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 1968 he created a high-energy physics research program at Michigan State University, where he was on the faculty until 1982. While on leave he served as Associate Laboratory Director for High Energy Physics at the Argonne National Laboratory (1978). In 1983 he became Director of the Laboratory for Elementary Particle Science and Physics Department Head at The Pennsylvania State University.

Dr. Smith was spokesperson for several major international collaborations working at Brookhaven National Laboratory, CERN, Fermilab and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He has over 300 journal-refereed publications, 200 invited papers and lectures, and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Dr. Smith oversaw the development of two antiproton traps, the Mark I portable trap built for the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the High Performance Antimatter Trap (HiPAT) for the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. Dr. Smith became Professor Emeritus from Penn State in 2000.
