Career
[edit | edit source]Visser completed a PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, supervised by Mary K. Gaillard.[1]
Visser's research interests include general relativity, quantum field theory and cosmology.
Visser has produced a large number of research papers on the subject of wormholes, gravitational horizons and notably the emerging subject of acoustic metrics.
He is the author of the reference book on the current state of wormhole theory, Lorentzian Wormholes — from Einstein to Hawking (1996) and co-editor of Artificial Black Holes (2002).
Awards
[edit | edit source]In 2013 Visser was awarded the Dan Walls Medal by the New Zealand Institute of Physics.[2]
