Leo C. Stein

Leo C. Stein is a Physics Professor at the University of Mississippi specializing in black holes, gravitational waves, and general relativity. His research includes numerical relativity simulations, black hole spectroscopy, and surrogate modeling for gravitational wave detection. Recognized as a Kavli Fellow, Stein develops computational tools like GWSurrogate and contributes to large collaborations such as the SXS project.

His work analyzes nonlinear effects in black hole mergers, ringdown signatures, and precision tests of general relativity. Research consistently explores gravitational wave physics, numerical methods, and spacetime geometry in extreme conditions.
