The U²GRC welcomes Aidan Chatwin-Davies! Aidan is joining URI as an Assistant Professor starting Fall semester (2024).

His research interests lie in quantum information and quantum gravity, and he generally works on problems in which these fields intersect. These days Aidan is particularly interested in exploring connections among quantum error correction, cosmology, gauge theories, and other areas of high energy physics. Some further areas of interest are AdS/CFT, the black hole information problem, and covariant sampling theory.
