JACOME.ARMAS

I am an associate professor in theoretical physics at the University of Amsterdam. I work on string theory, quantum gravity, black holes, holography and hydrodynamics of soft/active matter, astrophysics, quantum matter and complex systems with applications to ecosystems and social systems. I work with a group of postdocs, PhDs and master students in these subjects. I am a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Amsterdam and also an affiliate associated professor at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen... I have a degree (licenciatura) in Engineering Physics (2007) from the University of Aveiro with one year (2006) in theoretical physics at Trinity College Dublin; a masters degree in advanced mathematics (Part III) from the University of Cambridge (2008); a PhD in theoretical physics from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen (2012); and a BA in philosophy from KU Leuven (2017). I had postdoctoral positions at the University of Bern (2013-2014) and Université Libre de..
