About the author
Alexei Kojevnikov received his Ph.D. in History of Science from the Institute for History of Science and Technology in Moscow. After a Humboldt fellowship in Germany and several postdoctoral and faculty positions in the USA, he teaches History of Science at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. His research focuses on the history and social relations of modern physics, combining it with approaches from cultural history. He authored Stalin’s Great Science: The Times and Adventures of Soviet Physicists (London, 2004) and Rockefeller Philanthropies and Soviet Science (St. Petersburg, 1993) and edited Science in Russian Context (a special issue of Science in Context, 2002). He is also a Co-Editor of Weimar Culture and Quantum Mechanics (Singapore, 2011), Intelligentsia Science: The Russian Century, 1860-1960 (Chicago, 2008), and Paul Dirac and Physics of the 20th Century (Moscow, 1990).
