American astrophysicist
Kevin Hunter Knuth (born 1965)[ 2] is a Professor of Physics at the University at Albany (SUNY) . Knuth conducts research in information physics , foundations of quantum mechanics , and Bayesian analysis with applications towards various problems in physics.[ 3] He also conducts research into UFOs. [ 4]
Education
Knuth was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin . He received a Bachelor of Science in physics and mathematics from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh in 1988, a Master of Science in physics from Montana State University in 1990, and a PhD in physics (with a minor in mathematics) from the University of Minnesota (1995), where he was supervised by John H. Broadhurst.[ 3]
Academic career
After receiving his doctorate, Knuth taught in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences of the Graduate Center, CUNY , the Departments of Otolaryngology and Neuroscience of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine , and the Department of Physiology and Biophysics of the Cornell University Medical Center from 1997 to 2000.[citation needed ] He also worked as a researcher at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research from 1999 to 2001 and at NASA 's Ames Research Center from 2001 to 2005.[citation needed ] He became an assistant professor of physics at the University at Albany in 2005, was promoted to associate professor in 2009 and to professor in 2023.[ 3]
He has been editor-in-chief of the MDPI journal Entropy [ 5] since 2012.[ 3]
UFO research
Knuth has been quoted in the media on the topic of UFOs .[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] He serves as vice president of UAPx, a nonprofit organization that aims to conduct field research about UFOs, sometimes referred to as UAP,[ 11] and is a research affiliate of The Galileo Project for the systematic scientific search for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artifacts at Harvard University .[ 12]
