Andrew Hearin ‘03

UR Physics alumnus Andrew Hearin went off to graduate school in mathematics, but before too long he saw the light and returned to physics.  He’s now a Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh, and he just recently published a paper on a possible novel test of general relativity.  (That link is to a publicly-available preprint version of the paper.  Here’s the actual published version, but the link may not work unless you’re connecting from a university with a subscription to the journal.)
