Prof. Claudia de Rham - The Beauty of Falling ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CUPS - Cambridge University Physics Society Bio Professor Claudia de Rham researches gravity, quantum field theory, particle physics and cosmology in pursuit of a more fundamental description of the nature of our Universe and the laws that govern it. Her work has provided new perspectives to understand the origin of the Universe, its accelerated expansion and the fundamental nature of gravity. Professor de Rham is ranked among the most impactful researchers in fundamental physics of the past decade and her contributions to science have been recognised by numerous grants and awards. She is also the author of the popular science book The Beauty of Falling – A Life in Pursuit of Gravity published with Princeton University Press in April 2024. We are a student-run university society organising scientific talks and other events for our members and public. CUPS is all about the physics you don't do in your degree.
