Dr. Andrew W. Beckwith
Andrew W. Beckwith, Ph.D. was born on December 15, 1954. He has
studied astrophysics, theoretical physics and superconductivity. He
earned his Ph.D. from the
Texas Center of Superconductivity on June 5th, 2002 with
the dissertation
Classical and quantum models of density wave transport: A
comparative
study.
Andy is currently working in condensed matter CDW/ Domain wall
physics problems, and early universe models of emergent gravity/ entropy
generation. He is a member of the American Institute of Beam Energy and
was appointed senior scientific researcher for GravWave® LLC in
February, 2009.
He is a Fellow of the Space Physics Committee on Space Research (COSPAR)
and on their Committee for Space Astrophysics as well as a Life Member
of the American Institute of Beamed Energy Propulsion (AIBEP). He has
attended several astrophysics conferences in the last few years (2008)
including the following: Space Technology Application International
Forum (STAIF) 2007 and 2008 (HFGW sessions), Quantum Atomic and
Molecular Tunneling in Solids (QAMTS) 2007 (Texas), 23rd International
Conference On Neutrino Physics And Astrophysics (Neutrino 2008) (New
Zealand), and European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) 2008 on
behalf of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Poland).
Andy participated in the
third HFGW International Workshop at Huntsville, Alabama in 2009 and the
High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Symposium at the Johns Hopkins
University Applied Physics Laboratory in 2010.
He recently gave speaking presentations at Beyond the Standard Model
2010, Capetown, SA., DSU 2010, in Leon Mexico, RUDN 10, in Moscow,
2010, and gave a ten page contribution for the proceedings of the
conference DICE, Italy 2010. In November 2010 he is scheduled to go to
China for three and a half weeks in PRC China, for current research work
in common with GW researchers.
