Netta Engelhardt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at MIT. She works on quantum gravity, primarily within the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence, focusing on understanding the dynamics of black holes, the quantum structure of spacetime, and the relationship between gravity and quantum information. Her current primary interests revolve around the black hole information paradox, the thermodynamic behavior of black holes, and the cosmic censorship hypothesis, which conjectures that singularities are hidden behind event horizons. Engelhardt grew up in Jerusalem, Israel, and later moved to Boston, MA, where she received her BSc in physics and mathematics from Brandeis University and her PhD in physics from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Prior to joining the MIT physics faculty in July 2019, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University and a member of the Princeton Gravity Initiative.
