Eugenio Bianchi is an Italian theoretical physicist and a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow[1] at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics who works on loop quantum gravity and black hole thermodynamics. Before joining Perimeter, he was also a postdoctoral fellow with Carlo Rovelli at Aix-Marseille University. He has derived the Bekenstein-Hawking formula S=A/4 for the entropy of non-extremal black holes from loop quantum gravity,[2][3] for all values of the Immirzi parameter. From January 2014, he will be an Assistant Professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
