Dr. Michio Kaku is an internationally recognized authority in theoretical
physics and also the environment. He holds the Henry Semat Professorship in
Theoretical Physics at the City College and the Graduate Center of the City
University of New York. His goal is to help complete Einstein's dream of a
"theory of everything," a single equation, perhaps no more than one inch long,
which will unify all the fundamental forces in the universe. He has lectured
around the world and his Ph.D. level textbooks are required reading at many of
the top physics laboratories. He has written 9 books; his last two books,
Hyperspace and Visions, became international best-sellers,
and have been widely translated into different languages. He hosts a weekly
hour-long radio program on science on several stations around the country, and
his commentaries on science can be heard on 60 radio stations nation-wide.
Dr. Kaku graduated from Harvard in 1968, summa cum laude, and number one in
his physics class. He received a Ph.D. from the Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley
Radiation Laboratory in 1972. He held a lectureship at Princeton University in
1973. He then joined the faculty at the City Univ. of New York, where he has
been a professor of theoretical physics for 25 years. He has been a visiting
professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, and also New York
University.
He has published over 70 physics articles in physics journals which include
superstring theory, super gravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics. He is
the cofounder of string field theory. He also wrote the first paper on
conformal supergravity and the breakdown of supersymmetry at high
temperatures.
