Jennifer Coopersmith (born 1955) is an independent scholar known for her books on physics and the history of physics.
Life edit
Coopersmith is originally from Cape Town, South Africa, where she was born in 1955. After emigrating to England with her family in 1958, she read physics at King's College London, taking a bachelor's degree and Ph.D. in physics. After postdoctoral research at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and several part-time teaching positions in England and Australia, she moved to France in 2015.[1]
