Congratulations to Robert Wald, Charles H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College, for receiving the 2025 Albert Einstein Medal from the Albert Einstein Society.
The prestigious Einstein Medal, established in 1979, honors individuals who have contributed significant scientific findings, works, or publications related to Albert Einstein.
Wald is recognized for “important contributions to the field of General Relativity, in particular the fundamental contributions to classical and semiclassical gravity studies, including the formulation of the general formula for black hole entropy and the development of quantum field theory in curved spacetime.”
The award ceremony is scheduled for October 15, 2025, at the University of Bern.
