The understanding of black holes is considered to be a milestone on the way towards quantum gravity and has various implications for other disciplines such as cosmology or even solid state physics. This project allows for the establishment of an active and internationally competitive "Viennese School of Gravity." Daniel Grumiller holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the Technical University of Vienna. He joined the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Leipzig, Germany, as an Erwin-Schrödinger fellow from 2004 until 2006. In December 2008, after a two-year stay at MIT, he returns to the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Technical University of Vienna.
