Summary
Gerald Cleaver is a highly experienced and skilled problem solver who has dedicated his career to space and defense technology projects in private industry and government. Currently, he directs the Early Universe Cosmology and Strings (EUCOS) division of Baylor University's Center for Astrophysics, Space Physics, and Engineering Research (CASPER). Cleaver's fascination with studying quantum gravity theories, string/M-theory cosmology, and systematic computational modeling of the phenomenology of the string landscape of possible universes has culminated in over 100 peer-reviewed publications, conference proceedings, and articles throughout his career. 
Cleaver holds a Ph.D. in String Theory & Early Universe Cosmology from Caltech, where he studied under John H. Schwarz. He has also earned an M.S. in Physics with a 3.8 GPA and a B.S. in Physics with a 3.97 GPA from Valparaiso University. Cleaver also holds a B.S. in Mathematics with a 4.0 GPA and an Honors College Scholar Citation with a 3.97 GPA from the same institution. 
In addition to his role as a professor of physics at Baylor University, Cleaver has held multiple leadership positions in the field, including project XP4 Deep Future Propulsion and Energy Generation Concepts at Icarus Interstellar, Physics Editor of Heliyon at Elsevier, and member of the International Advisory Board of the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society. He has also served as the Graduate Program Director and Division Head of Early Universe Cosmology and Strings at Department of Physics, Baylor University. 
Cleaver's research has delved into advanced propulsion systems, specifically focusing on matter/anti-matter propulsion. He is also a member of Icarus Interstellar, a non-profit organization investigating intersolar and interstellar propulsion technology. With over 15 years of experience managing research groups and over 20 years of experience teaching, Cleaver's leadership and communication skills have been invaluable throughout his career.
