About Me

My photo
Robert Piccioni, PhD
I am a physicist and educator. I bring the excitement of modern scientific discoveries to general audiences, making the key facts and concepts understandable without “dumbing” them down, presenting them in a friendly, conversational manner. I have a B.S. degree from Caltech and a Ph.D. degree in high-energy physics from Stanford University. I am now teaching classes including: “Einstein for Everyone”; “Stars, Energy, and Black Holes”; and “Our Universe: the Known and the Unknown.” Please visit my website: http://www.guidetothecosmos.com or email me at cosmos.guide@sbcglobal.net
