Saul Teukolsky

Dr. Saul Teukolsky is a senior professor of theoretical astrophysics at both Caltech and Cornell University. His research focuses on general relativity, relativistic astrophysics, and computational astrophysics, particularly numerical relativity. He contributed to predicting gravitational wave signals from merging black holes, which were detected by LIGO, leading to the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics. Teukolsky is also co-author of the seminal Numerical Recipes series. His accolades include the Dirac Medal, Einstein Prize, and membership in the National Academy of Science.
