ⓘ About Brian Greene
Green then went to Harvard where he graduated with a bachelors of science degree in Physics in 1984. He went to Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar and graduated with a doctorate in Physics in 1987. He would then teach at Cornell and Columbia in New York where he rose to become a full professor in the mathematics and physics departments. He was also a co-director of Columbia University’s Institute for Cosmology, Strings and Astroparticle Physics. Greene’s gift for using simple examples and wit to explain highly abstract and complex theories were responsible for the success of “The Elegant Universe,” a PBS special on string theory that aired in 2003. The program was based on a novel by the same name which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling title.
