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.
Early life
Gerald Rosen was born 10 August 1933 in Mount Vernon, New York to David and Shirley Shapiro. On 8 June 1963, he married Sarah Louise Sweet and had two children, Lawrence Alexander and Karlyn.
Education
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 Valentine Bargmann as thesis advisor. Rosen was an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm and worked from 1960 to 1966 as an aerospace consultant. In 1966, he became a professor at Drexel University where he spent his career until retirement as professor emeritus in 1990. Beginning in 1982 he has been an associate editor at the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology. He has written 2 books and contributed numerous articles to professional journals.
In 1962, Rosen derived an equation which is now know as OML theory after being independently rediscovered by other physicists. In 2007 he generalized the Koide formula to quarks.
