Associate WCA Member Dr. Robert Mann has been elected as a Fellow of the RSC. He will join the 2,769 active Fellows contributing to the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as Canadian public life.
As a theoretical physicist, Mann’s work focuses on the overlap between gravitation and quantum physics. He works to bridge these two subjects by asking questions that provide information about the foundation of physics, particularly those that can be tested by experiment.
He has made many influential contributions to the field, including “black hole chemistry,” which treats black holes like everyday chemicals and applies known equations to gain clues about how the universe works. He is also one of the founders of Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI), a field exploring how extreme gravity and high speeds affect quantum data. Named a University Professor in 2022, Mann is a highly-cited researcher with more than 600 publications.
Congratulations to Robert on this well-earned recognition!
