Andrew Frey

Dr. Andrew Frey is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Winnipeg, with an Adjunct appointment in Applied Computer Science at the University of Manitoba. His research bridges cosmology and high-energy theoretical physics, focusing on dark energy, dark matter, inflation, and the Big Bang through frameworks like string theory and general relativity.

• Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Santa Barbara (2003)

Research spans cosmology-string theory intersections, gravitational collapse in AdS/CFT, and quantum information in gravity. He employs analytical and numerical methods to study extra-dimensional dynamics, dark matter models, and holographic complexity.

Recent publications (2016–2025) emphasize string cosmology, AdS instability, and gravitational wave signatures. Keywords cluster around theoretical physics, quantum gravity, and condensed matter applications.

• Erica and Arnold Rogers Award for Excellence in Research and Scholarship

Advises former students including Cole Coughlin, Jiayue Yang, Manu Srivastava, and S.E. Skelton. Media contributions include commentary on Nobel Prizes, dark matter, and a CKUW radio segment.
