Brian Greene, professor of physics at Columbia University and director of Columbia’s Center for Theoretical Physics, is recognized for a number of groundbreaking discoveries in his field of superstring theory including the discoveries of mirror symmetry and topology change. Greene has written four New York Times bestsellers, exploring physics for general audiences, which have sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. The orchestral adaptation of Greene's novella, Icarus at the Edge of Time, premiered at Lincoln Center and has been performed over 65 times worldwide and his work for the stage, Light Falls, which traces Einstein's discovery of General Relativity, was broadcast as a primetime national special on PBS.
