Biography

Timothy Budd is an Assistant Professor specializing in High Energy Physics at Radboud University. His research focuses on the intersection of quantum gravity and random geometry, exploring the structure of spacetime at the smallest scales under the known laws of gravity and quantum mechanics. Budd is particularly interested in the underlying mathematical numerical methods that foster a deeper understanding of these complex subjects. He has received prestigious research grants, including the NWO START-UP grant in 2018 for his project on microscopic geometry of spacetime and the NWO VIDI grant in 2019 for investigating spacetime at the tiniest scales. Budd's contributions to the field encompass both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, making significant strides in advancing our comprehension of fundamental physics.
