Joan Simon is a Reader in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He has a strong research focus on the understanding of spacetime, with interests that bridge various aspects of theoretical physics including black holes, the resolution of singularities, and the thermodynamics of horizons. His work delves into modern frameworks such as holography and quantum information, with significant attention given to the AdS/CFT correspondence and its implications in condensed matter physics and quantum gravity. His research encompasses a broad array of topics, including the use of toy models for big bang singularities, constraints of dark energy via string theory, and the exploration of non-BPS extremal black holes. Additionally, he has participated in numerous workshops and conferences focusing on gravitational aspects of string theory and quantum nature of spacetime, forming a substantial part of the discourse in mathematical physics today.
