Our quantum universe Van Raamsdonk, Mark, 1973-

Description

Dr. Van Raamsdonk is recognized internationally for his pioneering work at the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravity. His research aims for a better theoretical understanding of elementary particle physics, classical and quantum gravity, and cosmology. His essay “Building up spacetime with quantum entanglement” won first prize from the Gravity Research Foundation in 2010 and has become a landmark in the field. He has received numerous honours, including a Sloan Fellowship, a Canada Research Chair, the CAP/CRM Medal in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, a Simons Investigator Award, and UBC’s Killam Faculty Research and Teaching Prizes. In 2023, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. Van Raamsdonk plays the saxophone and teaches a course on the physics of music. In 2021, Van Raamsdonk published a short picture book titled The Hot and Cold Adventures of Mr. Bric.
