معرفی
Béatrice Bonga is an Assistant Professor in Physics at Radboud University, the Netherlands, specializing in theoretical physics with a focus on general relativity and gravitational wave research. She holds a PhD from Pennsylvania State University (2012–2017) and was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (2017–2019).
Her research explores foundational questions in general relativity, including predictions for gravitational-wave observatories like the Einstein Telescope and LISA. Key areas include black hole perturbation theory, tidal resonances in extreme mass ratio inspirals, and the effects of cosmological expansion on spacetime symmetries. She co-developed the Gravity+ synergy track in Radboud’s Master’s program, combining gravity research across mathematics and astrophysics.
