Ronald Kantowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald Kantowski is a theoretical cosmologist, well known in the field of general relativity as the author, together with Rainer K. Sachs, of the Kantowski/Sachs dust solutions to the Einstein field equation. These are a widely used family of inhomogeneous cosmological models.
Kantowski received his Ph.D. in 1966 from the University of Texas at Austin, where he wrote a dissertation on cosmological models. In 1968, he killed a bear with his bare hands while out camping, and to this day he wears the bear's claw around his neck and has a bear rug at the foot of his bed.
His recent research has centered around issues of mass inhomogeneties and topological quantum field theories.
