Christiane Klein

Christiane Klein is a Research Fellow at the University of York since 2024. Previously, she held postdoctoral positions at the Université Grenoble Alpes (2023-2024) and was a Walter-Benjamin Fellow. She obtained her PhD in Physics from the University of Leipzig and holds a Master's and Bachelor's from Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg, including an ERASMUS exchange at the University of Helsinki.

Education:

• Bachelor’s and Master’s in Physics from Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg
• PhD in Physics from the University of Leipzig

Her research focuses on quantum effects and measurements in astrophysical spacetimes, including constructing Hadamard states on rotating black holes and exploring cosmological applications of quantum measurement frameworks. Key areas include quantum field theory in curved spacetime, black hole physics, and mathematical physics.

Awards and Grants:

• Walter-Benjamin Fellowship
• KlarText-Award 2024 by Klaus-Tschira Foundation

She is affiliated with the Mathematical Physics and Quantum Information Research Group at the University of York and has contributed to foundational studies in quantum gravity and black hole dynamics.
