Bahram Mashhoon

Bahram Mashhoon is an Iranian-American physicist known for his research in General Relativity.

Mashhoon is a professor at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where he deals with some foundational aspects of gravitational physics. Within his field of research, Mashhoon has given important contributions to general relativity, with particular emphasis on the gravitomagnetic clock effect, but also as far as cosmology is concerned. He is also active in the field of non-local gravity.

Mashhoon received his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University in 1972 after completing a doctoral dissertation, titled "The gravitational and electromagnetic interactions of a black hole", under the supervision of John Archibald Wheeler.[1]
