About This Research Area
Focused on understanding the physics of event horizons, our work combines theoretical models with observational data from telescopes like the Event Horizon Telescope. We study phenomena such as spacetime curvature, Hawking radiation implications, and singularities at the heart of black holes.
Key Research Projects
First Image of Event Horizons
Analysis of M87* and Sagittarius A* images to validate relativity and test event horizon geometry in supermassive black holes.
View Project →Gravitational Lensing Studies
Using light bending near event horizons to infer spacetime distortions and map black hole mass distributions.
View Project →Quantum Information Loss Paradox
Theoretical work reconciling black hole evaporation predictions with quantum mechanics principles.
View Project →Space-Time Singularities
Simulations exploring the nature of spacetime at the core of black holes where current physical laws break down.
