Hume Feldman

Hume was a coauthor of the best-cited article on cosmological perturbations (>4000 citations) developing a gauge invariant formalism that is widely considered to be the gold standard in this sub- discipline.

[5] His seminal work on the approximation of the matter power spectrum from redshift surveys (>1000 citations)[6] has opened the door to a whole industry of cosmological probes and N-point functions determination in Fourier space.

He worked extensively on the constraints on galaxy bias, matter density, and primordial non-Gaussianity in redshift surveys and his detection of the bispectrum signal was the first observational confirmation of the Gravitational Instability Model.

He helped develop an artificial neural network formalism to interpolate the fully non-linear power spectrum of matter fluctuation and provided the community with a fast and accurate (<1% errors) software to determine the non-linear power spectrum given an input cosmology.

He became involved in the Creationism/Intelligent Design in Kansas in 1999 when the nearly successful attempts of various fundamentalist groups to force the teaching of religion in public schools began in earnest.
