After a brief stint working with special effects-giant Douglas Trumbull (of 2001 fame), a young John Dykstra found work on a research project in the urban simulation laboratory of the Institute for Urban and Regional Development (IURD) at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design...From building miniature buildings, streets and facades—the IURD lab would ultimately build a 40-foot-wide (12-meter) model of all San Francisco — Dykstra came to work on the novel camera system developed for the model-urban films... When the simulation project at Berkeley ran out of funding in 1975, Dykstra returned to Los Angeles. From friends at Trumbull's studio, he learned of Lucas's special-effects needs for Star Wars. At a fateful meeting with Lucas and producer Gary Kurtz, Dykstra proposed the Berkeley-developed system as a way to film the complex spacecraft dogfights Lucas envisioned.

He said he first learned about random modeling in a class at UC Berkeley — Sly later made a key discovery in constructing embeddings of random sequences, according to the MacArthur Foundation's website. 'One thing I'd say is that a lot of the work that's recognized in the award was while I was at Berkeley,' Sly said. 'I had very productive years both as a student and faculty.'
