The semiclassical description of black holes in quantum gravity predicts some surprising facts and some sharp contradictions. String theory potentially provides a detailed explanation of both. At the Institute, Davide Gaiotto will continue his work on black hole physics and join the investigations of the surprising connections to field theory.
