Lawrence Krauss
Cosmologist, Particle Physicist
Internationally known theoretical physicist and best-selling author Lawrence Krauss has focused his research on the intersection on cosmology and elementary particle physics. Dr. Krauss’s work addresses questions about the origin of matter in the universe, Einstein’s theory of general relativity, astrophysics, the future of the universe and the properties and description of the dark energy that is thought to account for most of the universe’s present energy content.
A fervent advocate for science literacy, Krauss has written eight books for a general audience, including the bestseller The Physics of Star Trek, and the forthcoming Quantum Man, due out in early 2011. Dr. Krauss is Foundation Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and Director of the ASU Origins Project at Arizona State University.
