Claudia de Rham is professor of theoretical physics in the Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics at Imperial, where she is also the Director. Her research challenges our understanding of the laws of nature and in particular that of gravity in pursuit of a more fundamental description of our Universe and the laws that govern it. Her work has provided new perspectives to understand the origin of the Universe, its accelerated expansion and the fundamental nature of gravity. An elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Academy for Mathematical Sciences. She is ranked among the most impactful researchers in fundamental physics of the past decade and her contributions to science have been recognized by numerous grants and awards, including a Swiss Talent award, the Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award, the Adams Prize for contributions to Mathematics and the Blavatnik Award. She’s the author of an Encyclopaedia of Cosmology with Imperial Professor Andrew J. Tolley and her first popular science book The Beauty of Falling – A Life in Pursuit of Gravity is being translated in over 10 languages so far.
