Description

In this talk, I will take a journey through the main themes that have guided my research over the years. My work has been shaped by the interplay between understanding the black hole singularity problem and some of the essential aspects of general relativity, leading me to explore three main avenues: analogue and emergent gravity, semiclassical gravity, and a particular version of bimetric gravity, more appropriately described as a new paradigm —the so-called Harmonic Background Paradigm. All of these explorations have been greatly influenced by Matt’s work.
