معرفی
Edward Teo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the National University of Singapore (NUS), Faculty of Science. He earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK in 1994 and has established himself as a leading researcher in General Relativity and Gravitation.
Professor Teo's research focuses on exact solutions of general relativity, particularly those describing black holes and gravitational instantons. His work spans theoretical investigations of spherical orbits around Kerr black holes, multicentered rotating black holes in Kaluza-Klein theory, and fundamental photon orbits in complex spacetime geometries. His research interests include black hole physics, gravitational instantons, exact solutions in general relativity, and mathematical aspects of spacetime geometry.
His publication record shows consistent high-impact research output with publications in top journals like Classical and Quantum Gravity, Physical Review D, and Journal of High Energy Physics. His most recent work (2025) on parametric solutions to the Kerr separatrix continues his long-standing research trajectory in black hole physics that began with his 1998 paper on rotating traversable wormholes.

- Breakthrough of the Year 2021 for work on spherical orbits around Kerr black holes
Professor Teo teaches advanced physics courses including PC5201 Advanced Quantum Mechanics and PC5206 Quantum Field Theory. His research has involved collaborations primarily with Yu Chen, with whom he has published numerous papers on black hole solutions, as well as with other researchers including T. Ng, T. Wan, and Z. Fan on more recent projects. His work has received significant citations, particularly his 2003 paper on spherical photon orbits around a Kerr black hole which has garnered over 240 citations.
