Ruth W. A. Gregory is a British mathematician and physicist, currently Professor of Physics at the University of Durham. Her fields of specialisation are general relativity and cosmology.[1]
Gregory earned her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 1988, under the supervision of John M. Stewart.[2]
She was given the 2006 Maxwell Medal and Prize by the Institute of Physics "for her contributions to physics at the interface of general relativity and string theory, in particular for her work on the physics of cosmic strings and black holes."[3]
