ACADEMIA<\/h3>\n
Theoretical Physicist<\/strong> \u2014 Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-creator of string field theory, a branch of string theory. He received a B.S. (summa cum laude) from Harvard University in 1968 where he came first in his physics class. He went on to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and received a Ph.D. in 1972. In 1973, he held a lectureship at Princeton University.<\/p>\n
Michio continues Einstein’s search for a “Theory of Everything,” seeking to unify the four fundamental forces of the universe\u2014the strong force, the weak force, gravity and electromagnetism.<\/p>\n
He is the author of several scholarly, Ph.D. level textbooks and has had more than 70 articles published in physics journals, covering topics such as superstring theory, supergravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics.<\/p>\n
Professor of Physics<\/strong> \u2014 He holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).<\/p>\n
