MIT Professor and Cosmologist Max Tegmark Joins SIAI Advisory Board
March 3rd, 2010 –
The Singularity Institute is pleased to welcome Max Tegmark, professor at MIT and a cosmologist as the newest member of our greatly valued advisory board. Prof. Tegmark has done pioneering research in precision cosmology, “combining theoretical work with new measurements to place sharp constraints on cosmological models and their free parameters”. A couple of his widely-discussed papers with more of a philosophical bent include “Is “the theory of everything” merely the ultimate ensemble theory?” and “The Mathematical Universe”.
Tegmark has also contributed to popular understanding of esoteric physics concepts with front-page articles in Scientific American and New Scientist. Scans of these stories are available at his website. Prof. Tegmark will help the Singularity Institute by expanding our network at MIT and within academia in general. Thank you for joining us, Professor Tegmark!
