Ransom Stephens is an American scientist and author.
Professional life
editAs a particle physicist, Ransom Stephens worked on experiments at SLAC, Fermilab (DØ), CERN (ATLAS), and Cornell (CLEO), discovered a new type of matter, and worked on the team that discovered the Top quark. During the tech boom that ended in 2001, he directed patent development for a wireless web startup, and later became an expert on timing noise.[1] His specialty at this time was the analysis of electrodynamics in high-rate digital systems.[2]
His novel, The God Patent, makes use of Stephens's experience as a physicist, patent director, public speaker and single father.[3] The novel includes a character loosely based on the physicist Emmy Noether.
