David Lowe

David Lowe is a Professor of Physics at Brown University, where he has been a faculty member since 1997. His academic journey includes a B.A. and M.A. from Cambridge University and a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Princeton University (1993), followed by postdoctoral research at UC Santa Barbara and Caltech.

His research focuses on string theory applications to gravitational physics, particularly black hole thermodynamics, quantum gravity, and cosmological implications of holographic principles. Key contributions include foundational work on AdS/CFT correspondence, black hole information paradox resolution, and de Sitter space holography. His publications span high-impact journals including Journal of High Energy Physics and Physical Review D, with recent emphasis on quantum information aspects of black holes.
