About
Professor Pando Zayas’ research focuses on quantum aspects of black holes. At the quantum level, the entropy of black holes is not exactly equal to one quarter of the area of the event horizon; it receives tiny quantum corrections proportional to the logarithm of the area. Pando Zayas has matched these logarithmic corrections successfully to a microscopic description based on the AdS/CFT correspondence. Other on-going research interests include: quantum mechanical descriptions of gravity, quantum chaos and irreversibility theorems in RG flow.
