My research focuses on when and how General Relativity begins to fail as a theory of gravitation and whether this breakdown can be probed with observations and experiments. Pursuing this question involves research in alternative theories of gravity, black holes and compact stars, and observational signatures of strong gravity, such as gravitational waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am currently Head of the Mathematical Physics Section, Founding Director of the Nottingham Centre of Gravity and an elected member of the Senate and the University Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Room C10 Mathematical Sciences Building<br>University Park<br>Nottingham<br>NG7 2RD<br>UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Telephone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>0115 9514945<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:thomas.sotiriou@nottingham.ac.uk\">thomas.sotiriou@nottingham.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Professor of Gravitational Physics in the School of Mathematical Sciences and in the School of Physics and Astronomy.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57,"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9\/revisions\/57"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk\/personal\/pmzts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
