From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Barry Collins is a
cosmologist who has written many papers with
Stephen Hawking. He is a
professor emeritus of
applied mathematics at the
University of Waterloo.
[1]
Collins earned his Ph.D. in 1972 from the
University of Cambridge under the supervision of F. Gerard Friedlander.
[2]
Among his works with Hawking is a 1973 paper that uses the
anthropic principle to provide a solution to the
flatness problem.
