Description

Monica Guica, Theoretical Physics, has received grants for the project “Emergent spacetime and maximally spinning black holes”.

Monica Guica's research is about black holes in cosmos. Black holes are some of the most fascinating objects which we can observe in the sky. But what they tell us on a deep theoretical level is that the two theories we use to describe the world – the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics – are incompatible with each other. The solution to this problem is believed to be holography. Monica Guica is going to examine how holography works in reality by finding holograms of black holes in the sky.
