Tim Adamo

Dr. Tim Adamo is a mathematical physicist affiliated with the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on quantum field theory, scattering amplitudes, and twistor theory, with applications to general relativity and gravitational physics. He holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and a Ph.D. from the University of Oxford under the supervision of Lionel Mason. His career includes postdoctoral positions at Cambridge University and Imperial College London before joining Edinburgh.

His work bridges theoretical physics and mathematics, particularly through innovative approaches to gravitational wave computations and the double copy formalism. Notable collaborations include a breakthrough paper with Eduardo Casali and David Skinner on 'A world sheet theory for supergravity,' which reformulated general relativity using Riemann surfaces. His recent publications explore eikonal amplitudes, celestial observables, and self-dual radiative backgrounds.

• Education: B.Sc. (University of Pittsburgh, 200?), Ph.D. (University of Oxford, 2015)
• Postdoctoral Positions: Cambridge University (2015-2018), Imperial College London (2018-2020)
• Current Affiliation: University of Edinburgh since 2020

Advising contributions include mentoring Eduardo Casali (Ph.D., 2020). His research often involves cutting-edge techniques like twistor actions, scattering equations, and the interplay between gauge theories and gravity.
