Gerald B. Cleaver is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Baylor University and is the Head of the Early Universe Cosmology and Strings (EUCOS) division of Baylor's Center for Astrophysics, Space Physics & Engineering Research (CASPER) . His research specialty is string phenomenology and string model building. John H. Schwarz, one of the founders of string theory, was Cleaver's Ph.D. thesis advisor at Caltech. While a postdoc at Texas A&M; University working with Dimitri Nanopoulos, Cleaver constructed the first string-derived model containing only the particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in the observable sector . At Baylor University Cleaver has constructed the first string derived Near-MSSM possessing the potential to resolve the factor-of-20 difference between the MSSM unification scale of 2.5×10 eV (25 YeV or 4.0 MJ) and the weakly coupled heterotic string scale of 5×10 eV (500 YeV or 80 MJ) via a robust method referred to as "optical...
