Juan Hernandez

Juan Hernandez is a Research Fellow in High Energy Physics at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium, actively contributing to the FWO-funded project "Entanglement and complexity in holography" (FWOTM1116) from October 2022 to September 2025 under Prof. Bertfried Craps.

His research spans quantum gravity, black hole thermodynamics, and holographic duality with core interests in entanglement entropy, black hole microstates, evaporation mechanisms, and quantum information applications to gravitational systems. He investigates fundamental paradoxes at the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, particularly through AdS/CFT correspondence frameworks.

Hernandez's 2023-2025 publications reveal a cohesive focus on resolving black hole information puzzles via holographic methods, examining Hilbert space structures, state complexity, and evaporation dynamics to advance understanding of quantum aspects of gravity and information recovery.

As part of the FWO project, he collaborates with Vijay Balasubramanian, Bertfried Craps, Maksim Khramtsov, and Mikhail Knysh on theoretical developments. His postdoctoral role involves active research contributions and group mentorship without formal advisee listings.
