Ryan Rohm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ryan Rohm (born December 22, 1957 ) is an American physicist who specializes in string theory , quantum field theory, cosmology and experimental neutrino physics.

Rohm studied physics and mathematics at North Carolina State University (NCSU) with a bachelor's degree in 1980 and received a doctorate in physics from Princeton University in 1985. As a post-doctoral student , he was at Caltech from 1985 to 1988 . From 1988 to 1995 he was an assistant professor at Boston University . In 1997 he earned a master's degree in computer science from NCSU. He has been involved in the KamLAND Experiment since 1998 and in the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) at NCSU and Duke University. He has also been Adjunct Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill since 1997 . In 1989 he received a research grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellowship ).

With David Gross , Emil Martinec and Jeff Harvey ( Princeton String Quartet ) he discovered one of the five superstring theories in 1985, the heterotic string theory.

Later he turned to experimental neutrino physics at the KamLAND experiment.
