Sep 20, 2020 · Stephen Hawking fellowships support a new generation of visionary scientists working in theoretical physics including related areas of mathematics and computer science. A fellowship will enable you to undertake high-quality research and learn skills that will allow you to communicate complex scientific ideas through a programme of public engagement.
The Professor Stephen Hawking Fellowship is a prestigious annual fellowship of the Cambridge Union Society in the University of Cambridge. Awarded to an individual who has made an exceptional contribution to the STEM fields and social discourse, [1] it is unique amongst comparable accolades in that it is conferred by the students of the University (through the Union), rather than the ...

Single layers of atoms, in regular arrays, can be used to shape light as it passes through or reflects from the layer. Since the arrays interact with single photons, the fundamental elementary particles which make up light, they can control quantum as well as classical properties. Through his fellowship Dr Ballantine aims to advance theories on how...
The state-of-the-art description of the behaviour of gravity is given by the general theory of relativity (GR). Although this theory has an elegant framework and has stood experimental verification in all the regimes where tests were performed, the theory remains untested by experiments and observations in several crucial regimes. Gravitational-wav...
Our current understanding of the cosmos is far from perfect. It can explain a large number of observations and experimental results, but to do so it needs to invoke a form of energy that is ubiquitous, dominant and non-luminous. To put this in perspective, if the energy of the universe were a football team, we’d only be able to see half of the goal...
Dr Galante’s research programme intends to find the microscopic quantum theory from which expanding spacetimes like our own universe emerge. Given that the speed of light is only finite, there are regions of spacetime that, due to the expansion, will never get in causal contact with an observer like us. Consequently, every observer in this universe...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has allowed us to make measurements of high energy particle interactions with unprecedented accuracy. Recently, previously unexplored particle masses and decays have been measured with such high precision that they are starting to show signs of disagreement with predictions from the Standard Model (SM) of particle ph...
Ultraluminous X-ray sources are among the most mysterious objects in the universe, with the most discussed models to explain ultraluminous X-ray sources involving black holes. However, recently, ultraluminous X-ray sources hosting an X-ray pulsar, a neutron star pulsating in the X-rays, have been discovered. This implies that X-ray pulsars can be u...
Recent discoveries have broken the spell that our galaxy is a relatively static object without much going on. In particular, observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (the closest massive satellite galaxy to the Milky Way) indicate that it is falling in with a massive dark matter halo. This is in turn, actively warping and deforming the dark matte...
Particle physics asks some of the most profound questions about our universe: what are the smallest constituents of matter, and how do they behave? The SM is the theory of all known fundamental particles, and its predictions agree with a bewildering array of measurements from many experiments over many years. But it cannot be the full story. For ex...
The bizarre and fascinating properties of quantum systems are very fragile and thus difficult to observe and manipulate. This is because they are altered by the inevitable interaction of these systems with their surroundings. Through his fellowship, Dr Scarlatella aims at advancing our understanding of how quantum properties are modified by this in...
What happened during the first moments of the universe? Our current best explanation is that the universe underwent a period of “inflation” where it expanded faster than the speed of light. Using new scientific methods, Dr Stefanyszyn will search for new generic features in cosmological correlators. These are cosmological patterns that cosmologists...
The Hawking Fellowship was founded by the Union and Hawking's family in 2017 to honour the legacy of Professor Stephen Hawking and celebrate his close relationship with the students of Cambridge. The Professor Stephen Hawking Fellowship is awarded to an individual or group who has made a significant impact on science, technology and its ...

Oct 4, 2021 · The Stephen Hawking Fellowships were launched in 2019 by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), working with the Hawking family, in recognition of Prof Stephen Hawking’s achievements. The fellowships look to answer the greatest unanswered questions in science, from how the universe evolved to what happens when black holes collide.
