Saul Teukolsky

Saul Teukolsky (born 2 August 1947) is one of the pioneers of numerical relativity—the subject that deals with equations involving general relativity using supercomputers. He was a graduate student under Kip Thorne at Caltech in the seventies. He is a coauthor of the influential Numerical Recipes series of books on scientific computing. Today his research group is at the forefront of numerical relativity calculations to predict signals from the LIGO and LISA experiments. He is the Hans A. Bethe professor of physics and astrophysics at Cornell University, and as of April 3, 2007 is the chair of the Cornell physics department.
