To introduce our P4F fellows to the public, we have decided to create a series of interviews with them, focusing not only on their research. After introducing Daniel Tchoń here and Miina Leiviskä here, we are pleased to introduce you Will Barker.
Will Barker is part of a new generation of theoretical physicists reshaping our understanding of gravity, black holes, and the universe’s fundamental structure. His recent research explores the strange frontier where Einstein’s general relativity may no longer hold – a region populated not by traditional black holes, but by their uncanny cousins: black hole mimickers. Since joining the Physics for Future fellowship in Prague, Barker’s work has taken on a broader scope. In this interview, he reflects on the role of uncertainty in physics, how cosmology can test bold new ideas, and why running to work through the hills of Prague has become part of his scientific routine.
The full interview can be found here.
