Professor Seonok Seo of KAIST Awarded the '2025 Frontier Science Award'
KAIST announced on the 26th that Professor Seonok Seo of the Department of Physics will receive the 2025 Frontiers of Science Award (FSA) for her research on quantum gravity theory.
The Frontiers of Science Award is given to research papers that have achieved significant results in the field of quantum gravity within the last 10 years. The award ceremony is scheduled to be held in Beijing this July.
Professor Seo, along with co-researchers Daniel Jafferis, Aitor Lewkowycz, and Juan Maldacena, was honored for their paper titled "Relative entropy equals bulk relative entropy," published in the Journal of High Energy Physics in June 2016.
The paper revealed the equivalence between relative entropy in field theory and relative entropy in the dual gravitational theory existing in higher-dimensional spacetime, and it has been recognized as an important work in the field of quantum gravity.
