Jennie Traschen

Jennie Traschen is a Professor of Physics at UMass Amherst and a Fellow of the APS. Her research is in theoretical classical and quantum gravity, with an emphasis on black hole thermodynamics, cosmology, and most recently, cosmological black holes. She started at UMass in 1989, following postdoctoral research at UCSB and University of Chicago, and graduate work at Harvard and Cambridge University. When not teaching our delightful students, or talking with colleagues at our excellent dining commons, Jennie’s preference is to work on calculations sitting at a sunny desk.
