Renata Ernestovna Kallosh (Russian: Рената Эрнестовна Каллош; born 1943) is a theoretical physicist. She is a professor at the Department of Physics of Stanford University. She is known[1] for her contributions to string theory, in particular finding (along with Sandip Trivedi, Andrei Linde, and Shamit Kachru) the first models of accelerated expansion of the universe in low energy supersymmetric string theory,[2] referred to as "KKLT" models after the authors' last names.[3][4]
Career
Renata Kallosh completed her Bachelor's from Moscow State University in 1966 and obtained her Ph.D. from Lebedev Physical Institute, Moscow in 1968. She was then a professor at the same institute, before moving to CERN for a year in 1989. Kallosh joined Stanford in 1990 and continues to work there (as of 2014).[5]
Personal life
Professor Kallosh is married to Andrei Linde. They have two sons.[6]
