Jeffrey H. Winicour is an American physicist and professor at the University of Pittsburgh,[1] who specialized in the theory of relativity. Winicour's 1964 PhD dissertation was an "investigation of the gravitational coupling of radiation fields in the framework of the general theory of relativity."[2] Winicour was the advisor to Luis Lehner, who received the 1999 Nicholas Metropolis Award from the American Physical Society. The award credited Lehner and Winicour, as advisor, for "developing a method that significantly advances the capability for modeling gravitational radiation by making possible the stable numerical solution of Einstein's equation near moving black holes."[3]
