Alexei Starobinsky is a prominent Russian theoretical physicist renowned for his contributions to cosmology and quantum field theory. He is particularly well known for his work on the early universe, including the concept of cosmic inflation. In the early 1980s, Starobinsky proposed a model of inflation that describes the rapid expansion of the universe just after the Big Bang, which helps to explain the large-scale structure of the cosmos as well as the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
