Bianca Dittrich is a faculty member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics specializing in Quantum Gravity. Her research focuses on understanding the nature of space-time and contributes toward constructing a consistent theory of quantum gravity. This involves non-perturbative approaches and integrating renormalization concepts in the development of frameworks to formulate quantum gravity effectively. Dittrich has explored advanced topics like Lorentzian path integrals and their application to quantum gravity, including investigating foundational questions related to causality and topology changes. She has held various prestigious positions including Adjunct Professor at the University of Waterloo and University of Guelph, and has a history of notable awards, including the CAP-CRM Prize from the Canadian Association of Physicists. Dittrich's engagement with the academic community includes numerous publications and presentations, further establishing her as a leader in her field.
