From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ryan Milton Rohm (born 22 December 1957,
Gastonia, North Carolina) is an American
string theorist. He is one of four physicists known as the Princeton string quartet,
[1] and is responsible for the development of
heterotic string theory along with
David Gross,
Jeffrey A. Harvey and
Emil Martinec,

[4]
[5] the other members of the Princeton String Quartet.
Rohm studied physics and mathematics at
North Carolina State University (NCSU) with a bachelor's degree in 1980 and received a Ph.D. in physics from
Princeton University in 1985. He was a
postdoc from 1985 to 1988 at
Caltech. From 1988 to 1995 he was an assistant professor at
Boston University. In 1997 he earned a master's degree in computer science at NCSU. Since 1998 he has worked on experimental neutrino physics in the
KamLAND experiment and at the
Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). Since 1997 he has also been an adjunct professor at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
