Biography
[edit]Harlow was born in Cincinnati and grew up in Boston and Chicago. He received his B.A. from Columbia University in 2006 and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2012.[2] He was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University and Harvard University before joining MIT's faculty in July 2017.[3]
His research is focused on understanding black holes and cosmology, viewed through the lens of quantum field theory and quantum gravity.[4]
He won the New Horizons in Physics Prize in 2019 for "fundamental insights about quantum information, quantum field theory, and gravity."[5][6][7] He was also named a Sloan Research Fellow in 2019.[8] In 2020, he was named a Packard Fellow.[9]
