Gerald (Harris) Rosen (born August 10, 1933, Mt. Vernon, NY) is an American mathematical scientist with over 275 published contributions in leading international scientific journals in the areas of theoretical physics, mathematical biology, and aeronautical engineering, between 1958 and the present. Rosen is currently the M. R. Wehr Professor Emeritus at Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Education
At Mt. Vernon's High School, Rosen earned Varsity letters in track and football as a sprinter. He graduated first in the Class of 1951. Subsequently at Princeton University, he majored in Engineering Physics and graduated first in the 729-student Class of 1955. In 1963, he married Sarah Louise Sweet and has two children.
Career
At Princeton University, Rosen received the degrees B.S.E. in 1955, M.A. in 1956, and PhD in 1958 with a thesis entitled "Feynman Quantization of General Relativity Theory" with John Archibald Wheeler as his principal advisor.
Rosen was an NSF postdoctoral fellow in 1959 at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm, Sweden, returning to the United States in 1960 to serve as a consultant to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1962, as Principal Scientist at Martin-Marietta, Rosen derived an equation, which is now known as OML theory, after a request from noted rocket scientist, Wernher von Braun. OML Theory has been independently rediscovered by other mathematical physicists more than 30 years later. Between 1963 and 1966, Rosen did research at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
In 1966, Rosen accepted a tenured full professorship at Drexel University in Philadelphia where he is currently on the research faculty in Physics as the M. R. Wehr Professor Emeritus.
