Martin Bojowald

Martin Bojowald (born February 18, 1973) is a German physicist who now works on the faculty of the Penn State Physics Department[1], where he is a member of the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos.[2] Prior to joining Penn State he spent several years at the Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics[3] in Potsdam, Germany. He works on loop quantum gravity and physical cosmology and is credited with establishing the sub-field of loop quantum cosmology.
