Research.com Recognitions

  • 2022 - Research.com Physics in New Zealand Leader Award
  • 2009 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For contributions to gravity theory, especially the effects of energy condition violations and the development of analog models of black hole and cosmological spacetimes

Overview

Matt Visser is affiliated with Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. Their research focuses primarily on Physics and Astronomy, with particular attention to Astronomy and Astrophysics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, and related subfields such as Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, and Applied Mathematics.

Their main scholarly topics include Cosmology and Gravitation Theories, Black Holes and Theoretical Physics, Astrophysical Phenomena and Observations, Pulsars and Gravitational Waves Research, Relativity and Gravitational Theory, Noncommutative and Quantum Gravity Theories, and Quantum Electrodynamics and the Casimir Effect.

Visser has published extensively in various academic venues. The most frequent publication platforms include arXiv (Cornell University), Universe, Physical Review D, Journal of High Energy Physics, and MDPI. These venues reflect the breadth of their work across theoretical and observational aspects of physics.

Frequent coauthors contributing jointly to research projects include Stefano Liberati, Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Francesco Di Filippo, Thomas Berry, and Joshua Baines. Collaboration with these scholars is evident in the consistent output of papers on black hole physics and associated fields.

Selected recent papers by Matt Visser demonstrate the focus and scope of their investigations:

  • Novel black-bounce spacetimes: Wormholes, regularity, energy conditions, and causal structure (2021, Physical Review D)
  • Geodesically complete black holes (2020, Physical Review D)
  • Inner horizon instability and the unstable cores of regular black holes (2021, Journal of High Energy Physics)
  • Dynamic thin-shell black-bounce traversable wormholes (2020, Physical Review D)
  • Opening the Pandora's box at the core of black holes (2020, Classical and Quantum Gravity)

In 2009, Matt Visser was recognized as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) for contributions to gravity theory, particularly in the context of energy condition violations and advancing analog models of black hole and cosmological spacetimes.
