Some Famous People called Matthew Koss

Matthew Koss

Matthew B. Koss (born September 16, 1961 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a widely published solid state physicist. He received his AB degree from Vassar College in 1983 and a Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics from Tufts University in 1989.

From 1990 to 2000 he worked at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as Lead Scientist for the Isothermal Dendritic Growth Experiment (IDGE), a basic microgravity research project on dendritic solidification that conducted Space Shuttle flight experiments on STS-62, -75 and -87.

He is currently the Principal Investigator of the Transient Dendritic Solidification Experiment (TDSE), a flight experiment being prepared for the International Space Station in 2006.

In June 2003, Koss created controversy by writing an editorial article in the New York Times claiming that scientists bore partial responsibility for the space shuttle Columbia disaster. He argued that most micro-gravity scientific experiments did not require manned space missions, but were used to promote the space program. The article drew widespread attention, and resulted in congressional hearings at which Koss appeared.
