Regular biography
Christoph Kehle is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, affiliated with the MATH department. He joined the Mathematics Department in July 2024. Prior to this, he was a Junior Fellow at ETH Zürich and a member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Kehle earned his PhD in 2020 from the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Mihalis Dafermos. His research interests lie at the intersection of analysis, geometry, and partial differential equations, with a particular focus on the Einstein field equations of general relativity. He has worked on the Strong Cosmic Censorship conjecture, singularities in black hole interiors, and the dynamics of extremal black holes.
Scholar-generated biography
Christoph Kehle is a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, specializing in Analysis, Partial Differential Equations (PDE), and General Relativity. His work focuses on the mathematical aspects of black hole physics, including gravitational collapse, extremal black hole formation, and the behavior of linear waves on black hole spacetimes. He investigates phenomena such as strong cosmic censorship, Cauchy horizon stability, and the role of matter in black hole interiors. His research also touches on Diophantine approximation and its implications for cosmic censorship in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. Kehle's contributions span both theoretical and applied aspects of general relativity, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between PDEs and gravitational physics.
