Maria Spiropulu
Particle physicist; Shang-Yi Ch'en Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology; CERN researcher
Maria Spiropulu — Particle physicist; Shang-Yi Ch'en Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology; CERN researcher — is named in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files. Attended the "Confronting Gravity" workshop — a six-day invitation-only conference on fundamental questions in physics and cosmology held at the Ritz-Carlton on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands in March 2006, funded by Epstein through his foundation J. Epstein VI Inc. and organised by physicist Lawrence Krauss. Approximately twenty of the world's leading physicists and cosmologists attended, including Stephen Hawking, several Nobel laureates, and other prominent researchers; participants also took a trip to Epstein's nearby private island, Little Saint James. Spiropulu was then a research staff physicist at CERN; she later joined Caltech as a professor in 2009 and has since co-chaired the National Academies of Sciences Committee on Elementary Particle Physics. The conference predated Epstein's 2008 criminal conviction, and the attendee list and Epstein's funding role are documented in the DOJ-released Epstein files and the original 2006 conference press release. No wrongdoing is alleged against her. This profile is auto-generated from public reporting and is pending editorial review; inclusion does not imply guilt or wrongdoing.
