Biography

Dionysios Anninos is a Professor of Theoretical Physics and a Royal Society Research Fellow at King's College London, focusing on the interface of black hole physics, cosmology, and gauge/gravity duality. He graduated from Cornell University and earned his PhD from Harvard University under the supervision of Professor Andrew Strominger. Anninos has held research positions at Stanford University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and was a Delta ITP fellow at the University of Amsterdam. He was awarded a University Research Fellowship by the Royal Society in 2018, which facilitated his move to King’s College London.
