Calling someone who got a PhD in Mathematical Physics from Princeton an "engineer" is a bit rich. Yes, his undergrad degree was in engineering, but we don't call Ed Witten a "historian" because his undergrad degree was in history, most people would focus on the PhD and years spent as a tenured professor in Physics at various universities and research institutes.
