John Moffat

John Moffat is a Senior Research Affiliate and Research Associate at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge and has held postdoctoral fellowships at CERN and Imperial College London. His career includes positions at the Research Institute for Advanced Studies in Maryland and the University of Toronto, where he served as an Associate Professor before becoming a full professor.

His research focuses on cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, and astrophysics. Key areas include investigations of the Standard Model, modified gravitational theories (e.g., MOG), quantum gravity, and analyses of observational astrophysical data. Recent work explores graviton detection via stochastic fluctuations, wormhole physics, and the dynamics of supermassive black holes.

Publications highlight trends in quantum-gravity interfaces, modified gravity applications to galactic dynamics, and nonlocal quantum field theories. Moffat’s work often bridges theoretical frameworks with observational data, such as analyzing Milky Way rotation curves and wide binary star systems. His contributions span cosmological models, black hole physics, and quantum entanglement studies.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the text. His advising record is not detailed here, but collaborations with researchers like V.T. Toth and R. Landry are evident. The text does not specify lab affiliations or teams.
