Bruce D Popp

Bruce D. Popp is an ATA-certified translator for French into English with a BA in physics from Cornell University and a PhD in astrophysics from Harvard University. He is the recipient of the 2017 S. Edmund Berger Prize for Excellence in Scientific and Technical Translation. He was awarded the prize for his first book, a translation from French into English of The Three-Body Problem and the Equations of Dynamics, by Henri Poincaré. His second book looks at Poincaré's work on the theory of electrons as an alternate, but not fully realized, path to the theory of special relativity. He is now writing his third book and continues to follow his interest in the work of Henri Poincaré in mathematical physics. He adores his children and enjoys cooking; his children love his quiche, tarts and mousse. His cat is affectionate and loyal.
