Professor Tanmay Vachaspati

The Wired article A Solution to the Black Hole Information Paradox said

It might sound like heresy, but three researchers from Case Western Reserve University have concluded that there’s nothing inside a black hole. The math is mind-boggling, but it might explain a paradox that has challenged physicists for decades.
 
The researchers are Tanmay Vachaspati, Dejan Stojkovic and Lawrence M. Krauss, and they published their theories in an article called Observation of Incipient Black Holes and the Information Loss Problem, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Physical Review D.

Professor Tanmay Vachaspati, Ph.D. is Professor of Physics at Case Western Reserve University. His specializations are cosmology, particle physics and astrophysics.
 
His research interests are:

• Topological defects in cosmology.
• Search for topological defects using cosmological observations.
• Topological defects in particle physics.
• Primordial magnetic fields and their topology.
• Inflation, eternal inflation and quantum cosmology.
• Black holes.
• Cosmology in the laboratory: design of experiments to test quantum field theoretic phenomena in curved spacetime (such as Hawking radiation).
• Understanding the spectrum of fundamental particles in terms of magnetic monopoles (“dual standard model”).

Tanmay authored Kinks and Domain Walls: An Introduction to Classical and Quantum Solitons, Black Stars and Gamma Ray Bursts, and On Constructing Baby Universes and Black Holes, and coauthored Quantum radiation from quantum gravitational collapse, Observation of incipient black holes and the information loss problem, Light superconducting strings in the Galaxy, Intercommutation of semilocal strings and skyrmions, and Zero modes on cosmic strings in an external magnetic field.
