Peter D'Eath

Dr. Peter D'Eath is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Relativity and Gravitation Group. His research focuses on quantum gravity, black hole physics, and cosmology. He has contributed to understanding gravitational radiation in ultra-relativistic collisions and quantum effects in black hole evaporation. His work includes studies of supersymmetric field theories and their implications for cosmological models.

Research Interests:

• Quantum aspects of black holes and their evaporation
• Gravitational radiation in high-energy collisions
• Supergravity theories and cosmological solutions
• Interactions between massive self-gravitating bodies

His notable collaborations include work with Andrew Farley on quantum amplitudes in black hole evaporation, demonstrating phase coherence in quantum gravitational systems. Recent publications explore applications of supergravity models and gauge-invariant theories in cosmology.

Advising:

• PhD Student: Andrew Farley (1997-2002)

He is part of the Relativity and Gravitation Group at DAMTP, which operates the COSMOS supercomputer and contributes to theoretical cosmology research through the Stephen Hawking Centre for Theoretical Cosmology.
