Biography
Brian Greene is Professor of Physics and co-director and co-founder of the Institute for Strings, Cosmology, and Astroparticle Physics at Columbia University.
Greene has worked on mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi-Yau manifolds (concretely, relating the conifold to one of its orbifolds). He also described the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold point.
