Timothy Hollowood

Professor Timothy Hollowood is a faculty member in the Physics Department at Swansea University, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on theoretical physics, particularly quantum gravity, black holes, string theory, and related areas. He has contributed to understanding cosmological perturbations, integrable systems, and holographic principles. His work often explores quantum aspects of black holes, including information loss paradoxes and evaporation processes in models like JT gravity. Hollowood supervises PhD students in topics such as replica wormholes, dualities in field theories, and marginally deformed AdS/CFT systems. He teaches modules like Quantum World III and Gravity, covering advanced quantum mechanics and general relativity applications. His research has been published in leading journals, including Journal of High Energy Physics and Physics Letters B.

Key research interests include quantum gravity phenomena, string theory backgrounds, and the interplay between quantum field theory and gravitational systems. Recent work emphasizes holography, quantum information aspects of black holes, and the island conjecture. Hollowood’s contributions span over decades, with notable publications since the 1980s, reflecting expertise in both foundational and applied theoretical physics.
