Henry W Lin

Henry W Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Princeton University. He will join the physics department as an assistant professor in January 2026. Lin holds an A.B. in Physics and Mathematics from Harvard (2017) and a Ph.D. in Physics from Princeton University (2022). Currently, he is completing a postdoc at Stanford University. His research focuses on understanding the black hole interior in quantum gravity, with an emphasis on low dimensional holography and numerical techniques for strongly coupled quantum systems with many degrees of freedom.

Henry W Lin is a researcher in high energy physics, focusing on theoretical aspects of quantum gravity, holography, and black hole physics. His work explores topics such as traversable wormholes, double-scaled SYK models, and the bulk Hilbert space in gravity theories. Lin also investigates symmetries near horizons and the complexity of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. His research includes studies on galaxy clusters, cosmic microwave background, and the implications of global symmetry violations. Lin's contributions span both fundamental theoretical physics and observational cosmology, with an emphasis on connecting quantum mechanics with gravitational phenomena.
