V. Alan Kostelecký is a theoretical physicist who is a distinguished professor of physics at Indiana University, Bloomington.
Subsequently, he began as an undergraduate in biology, switched his degree to chemistry, and eventually switched for the last time to physics and obtained his undergraduate degree in science from Bristol University in 1977, and his Ph.D. in physics from Yale University in 1982.
He has enlisted the help of several physicists from diverse areas such as astrophysics and particle physics to experimentally detect the presence of these asymmetries.
[8] Kostelecký has hosted a series of Meetings on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry at Indiana University.
[3] He received the 2025 Norman F. Ramsey Prize for applications of the Standard Model Extension to physical precision measurement tests.
