An illustration of the holographic principle. Credit: Florian Aigner /TU Wien - Two Imperial physicists have won significant European funding to pursue their pioneering ideas. The academics - both from the Department of Physics - were awarded prestigious grants from the European Research Council as part of the Horizon Europe funding programme. Dr Shai Chester won a Starting Grant to help build a research team to investigate quantum gravity and Dr Heather Graven won a Proof of Concept Grant to develop a prototype carbon sampler that builds on previous work funded by the ERC. Unravelling the mysteries of quantum gravity. Dr Shai Chester, Department of Physics, has won an ERC Starting Grant worth ¤1.5million over five years to help unravel the mysteries of quantum gravity. When materials change state, such as water turning to ice, this is known as a phase transition.
