Robert R. Caldwell is an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College. His research interests include cosmology and gravitation. [2] He is known primarily for his work on theories of cosmic acceleration, [3] in particular dark energy, quintessence, [4] and the Big Rip scenario. [5] [6]
Caldwell received an A.B. from Washington University in St. Louis in physics and French in 1987, and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1992. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Fermilab (1992-4), the University of Cambridge (1994-6, as a member of Hawking’s group [7]), the University of Pennsylvania (1996-8), and Princeton University (1998-2000). He has been on the faculty of Dartmouth College as an assistant professor (2000), associate professor (2005), and full professor (2010).
