JOHN HAGELIN, Ph.D.
Biographical Sketch
John Hagelin, Ph.D., is a world-renowned quantum physicist, a life-long educator, an author, and the Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace.
Dr. Hagelin has conducted pioneering research at CERN (the European Center for Particle Physics) and SLAC (the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) and is responsible for the development of a highly successful grand unified field theory based on the Superstring. His scientific contributions in the fields of electroweak unification, grand unification, super-symmetry and cosmology included some of the most cited references in the physical sciences.
As Director of Maharishi University of Management’s Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy, a progressive policy think tank, Dr. Hagelin has successfully headed a nation-wide effort to identify, scientifically verify and promote cost-effective solutions to critical social problems in the fields of crime, health care, education, economy, energy and the environment.
In addition, Dr. Hagelin has spent much of the past quarter century leading a scientific investigation into the foundations of human consciousness. In his book, Manual for a Perfect Government, Dr. Hagelin shows how, through educational programs that develop human consciousness, and through policies and programs that effectively harness the laws of nature, it is possible to overcome acute social problems and to enhance governmental effectiveness.
In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Dr. Hagelin was named winner of the prestigious Kilby Award, which recognizes scientists who have made “major contributions to society through their applied research in the fields of science and technology.” The award recognized Dr. Hagelin as “a scientist in the tradition of Einstein, Jeans, Bohr and Eddington.”
Dr. Hagelin has appeared many times on ABC’s Nightline and Politically Incorrect, NBC’s Meet the Press, CNN’s Larry King Live! and Inside Politics; CNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, and others. He has also been regularly featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and most other major metropolitan newspapers.
As the 2000 Presidential Candidate of the Natural Law Party, America’s fastest growing grassroots party, Dr. Hagelin, along with hundreds of NLP candidates in all 50 states, drew millions of votes for his “scientifically proven, forward-looking, sustainable solutions to America’s pressing social, economic and environmental problems.”
Dr. Hagelin received his A.B. summa cum laude from Dartmouth College in 1975 and his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1981. He is currently Director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy, Professor of Physics, and Director of the Doctoral Program in Physics at Maharishi University of Management. |
