From his letter to his former PhD student, Koichi Mano.

This update is way overdue, but the talks for our Cosmic Flows workshop at PI are available at

and here is our conference photo:

I have a new reading of “Alice in Wonderland”, celebrating the centennial of General Relativity, based on my colloquium at Western Math department:

“Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end! ‘I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?’ she said aloud. ‘I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. “ wrote Charles Dodgson, the English writer and mathematician, of Alice’s fantastic adventure into a bizarre world of underground creatures. I shall retell the story of our centennial adventure into the relativistic wonderland, a tall tale of non-sensical creatures that includes blunders, black holes, Schrödinger’s cats, and a very vibrant vacuum! ”

Here are the slides in PDF and Keynote.

Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics invites applications for postdoctoral positions from new and recent PhDs working in fundamental theoretical physics. Our areas of strength include classical gravity, condensed matter theory, cosmology, particle physics, mathematical physics, quantum fields and strings, quantum foundations, quantum information, and quantum gravity. We also encourage applications from scientists whose work falls in more than one of these categories. Our postdoctoral positions are normally for a period of three years. Outstanding candidates may also be considered for a senior postdoctoral position with a five-year term.

So, I have successfully transitioned to my new homepage: https://nafshordi.wordpress.com/.

The plan is to centralize all my (semi-)professional communications, and bring them into 21st century!

I have decided to move my web presence here, as I thought it will be easier to edit and access.

Thanks for stopping by!
