Andrei Linde

Father of "Eternal Chaotic Inflation"; Professor of Physics, Stanford University

ANDREI LINDE is a Russian-American theoretical physicist and professor of Physics at Stanford University.

Dr. Linde is best known for  "eternal chaotic inflation", one of the varieties of the inflationary multiverse theory, which proposes that the universe may consist of many universes with different properties. In 2002, he was awarded the Dirac Medal, along with Alan Guth of MIT and Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University.

His current research also involves the theory of dark energy, investigation of the global structure and the fate of the universe, cosmological constraints on the properties of elementary particles, and quantum cosmology.
