Dr. Hossenfelder is a German theoretical physicist, whose research focuses on the phenomenology of quantum gravity and superfluid dark matter. She studies the role of Lorentz variance and locality, which would be altered in the discovery of quantum gravity, a topic that she has been trying to find experimental evidence for. She is the author of ‘Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray’, which explores the concept of elegance in fundamental physics and cosmology. She has a very active Youtube channel dedicated to communicating current science news and scientific methods to the public, and since 2006, she has been writing the popular weblog ‘Backreaction’.
