Richard P.A.C. Newman

Richard P.A.C. Newman (1955 - 2000) was a physicist notable for his work in the area of cosmology and general relativity.

He completed his PhD in 1979 at the University of Kent at Canterbury under G.C. McVittie with a thesis entitled "Singular Perturbations of the Empty Robertson-Walker Cosmologies."

He was a research fellow at the University of York 1984-1986.

He died 2000.
