Roger Penrose, black holes, and the Nobel Prize
Carla Rodrigues Almeida has recently joined the KWI as an International Research Fellow. With a master in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Physics, Carla is currently researching the historical path of the discovery and acceptance of black holes, focusing on how the understanding and perception of those objects changed over the decades. During her time at the KWI, she will work on a proposal of a book on this topic.
