About
Dr Weck works primarily with low-energy limits of string theory, in which the physics of quantum gravity can be approximated by theories of gravity. By studying exact solutions in these gravitational theories, we can learn about the nature of Quantum Field Theories describing particle interactions, about possible microscopic descriptions of black holes, and about deep connections between different research areas in physics. He received his PhD in physics in 2023 from Johns Hopkins University and has been with the theory group at Swansea since October 2023.
