Relativity Revealed

by

Dr. Ian H. Redmount
Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology
Saint Louis University

Dr. Redmount earned his Bachelor's degree in physics at Michigan State University in 1978, and his Master's (1981) and Ph. D. (1984) degrees at Caltech, working under Kip Thorne on black-hole formation and dynamics. He has held research positions at Harvard, the Yukawa Institute in Kyoto, Japan, the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, England, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee. He joined the faculty of Saint Louis University in 1993, where he teaches introductory and advanced physics classes, and continues his researches in classical gravitation theory and cosmology, and quantum field theory in curved spacetime. His research interests include Quantized Fields in Curved Spacetime: effects of dynamic gravitation on particles, definition of vacua and particles in cosmology; Quantum Gravity: dynamics of wormholes and spacetime foam; Quantum Mechanics: ambiguities in quantizing classical systems; and Pedagogical Physics: apparent weight of an hourglass.
