Andrew Stuart Ian Donald Lang, PNF, FDI (born 3 July 1970) is a British mathematical physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Oral Roberts University. He has received a number of awards, including a 2014 Blue Obelisk award for his work in the area of Open Notebook Science and was named a 2010 DaVinci Institute Fellow for his groundbreaking work in virtual worlds.〔Andrew Lang named (DaVinci Institute ) Fellow〕 He is an open science advocate and has published in many academic fields, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and virtual worlds.〔Andrew S I D Lang, David C Kobilnyk (2009) (Visualizing Atomic Orbitals Using Second Life ) Journal of Virtual Worlds Research 1: 6. April〕 He is also recognised for his expertise in the relationships between science and science fiction〔( Science and Science Fiction Conference ) Lang is the director of the 17–18 April 2015 ORU Conference on Science and Science Fiction〕 and science and religion. Lang is married to Kelly Jean Lang, with whom he has four children. ==Early life and education== Andrew Lang was born in Folkestone, Kent, on 3 July 1970 to Andrew Taig Lang, a nuclear power station construction engineer and Ann Alice Louise Seale. Shortly after Lang was born, the family moved to Lydd, Kent, near to where his father worked at the Dungeness nuclear power station, where he lived with his three older siblings, Robert, Dawn, and Peter, from his mother's previous marriage. Lang attended Lydd Primary School from 1976 to 1982. From the age of twelve, he attended John Southland's Community Comprehensive School (now named The Marsh Academy) where he received A-levels in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Lang earned his BSc in mathematical physics from the University of Kent, Canterbury in 1991, writing an undergraduate dissertation on "Stellar Evolution and Black Holes." It was at Canterbury, that he met his future wife Kelly, a student at the University of Tulsa, who was studying for a year at Canterbury. Lang earned his M.S. degree in applied mathematics from the University of Tulsa in 1993, writing a thesis on "Black Holes and Singularities," under geometer Kevin O'Neil. Lang earned his PhD in mathematics from the University of Missouri in 1998, writing a dissertation on "The Casimir Effect," under mathematical physicist Adam Helfer.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew S.I.D.
