Beverly K. Berger is Professor and Chair of Physics at Oakland University (Michigan) where she has been since 1977. She received her B.S. in Physics from the University of Rochester (1967) and her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland (1972). Before coming to Oakland, she held post-doctoral positions at the University of Colorado and Yale. While at Oakland, she has held visiting positions at the Universities of Chicago, Michigan, Maryland, and California/Santa Barbara, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and at the Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, founder and past chair of the APS Topical Group in Gravitation, Vice Chair of the APS Committee on the Status of Women in Physics, APS General Councillor, and a member of the nominating committee of the International Society of General Relativity and Gravitation. She has been a member of the NAS/NRC Committee on Gravitational Physics and an NSF Special Emphasis Panel for Gravitational Physics. Her research interests include theoretical gravitational physics with recent emphasis on the nature of singularities in Einstein's equations. Other areas of current and past interest include chaos in general relativity, numerical relativity, spatially inhomogeneous cosmological spacetimes, and quantum cosmology. Her research is supported by NSF.
