Malvin A. Ruderman is Centennial Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Columbia University. His main research interests in recent years have been the structure of neutron stars and how these objects convert so much of the spin-energy which they have when they are formed into beams of high energy radiation. Dr. Ruderman holds a B.A. from Columbia (1945) and a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (1951). Among his recent publications is "A Biography of the Magnetic Field of a Neutron Star" (2004). | |||
