Mark Van Raamsdonk is a professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia since 2002.[1] Before that, he was a postdoc at Stanford University from 2000 until 2002 and studied as a graduate student at Princeton University from 1995 until 2000 when he received his PhD under the supervision of Washington Taylor. Before that, he did a combined mathematics/physics undergraduate degree at University of British Columbia.[2]
In 2009 Mark Van Raamsdonk started to work on the relationship between quantum mechanics and gravity during his first sabbatical year.[3] He published his results "Building up spacetime with quantum entanglement" as an essay in 2010,[4] which won the first price of the annual essay contest run by the Gravity Research Foundation.[5]
