Nishant Agarwal
University of Massachusetts, Lowell
Agarwal is interested in problems at the interface of theoretical cosmology, high energy physics, and quantum information physics, including out-of-equilibrium and open quantum systems, entanglement in quantum field theory, and imprints of new physics in cosmology.

Netta Engelhardt
MIT
Netta Engelhardt works on quantum gravity, with a focus on the black hole information paradox and the emergence of spacetime from more fundamental degrees of freedom; she leverages connections between gravitational physics, quantum information, and complexity theory.

Albion Lawrence
Brandeis University
Albion Lawrence seeks to understand the emergence of classical spacetime from string theory and holographic duality, and to understand its fate near dynamical singularities.
