Welcome to our Gravity Group

Welcome to the Gravity Group of the Physics Department at UMass Dartmouth. This website is about various aspects of theoretical and computational gravitational physics, in particular: Black Holes and Quantum Cosmology. All technical papers related to our research are available on gr-qc at the Los Alamos e-print archive. Here is an explicit list of a few selected articles. Faculty in this group are supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), UMass internal grants, Glaser Trust of New York, Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi), Apple Inc., SCEA (Sony) and the TeraGrid. Interested students and general public should contact Gaurav Khanna (gkhanna-at-umassd-dot-edu) for any queries or suggestions.

Check out our new PS3 cluster for various research projects, that was made possible owing to a generous, partial donation from Sony.
