American physicist and cosmologist

Daniel Holz is an American physicist and cosmologist specializing in general relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology. He is a professor at the University of Chicago, affiliated with the Departments of Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics.

Holz has also been recognized as a Kavli Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. In addition to his academic work, Holz is Chair of the Science and Security Board for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Education and career

Holz earned his Bachelor of Arts in Physics from Princeton University and his Doctor of Philosophy in Physics from the University of Chicago. He is a member of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) collaboration and played a significant role in two landmark discoveries: the first detection of gravitational waves in 2016 and the first multi-messenger detection of a binary neutron star in 2017.

At the University of Chicago, Holz also serves as the founding director of the Existential Risk Laboratory (XLab).

Research on black holes

Holz's research has shed light on black holes. As part of the LIGO collaboration, Holz contributed to the first detection of gravitational waves, ripples in spacetime caused by the collision of two black holes. This discovery provided a new way to observe the universe and unveiled the hidden dynamics of black hole mergers.
