Areas of Research
Unruh has made seminal contributions to our understanding of gravity, black holes, cosmology, and quantum fields in curved spaces, including the discovery of what is now known as the Unruh effect. Unruh is also interested in foundations of quantum mechanics. He argues that quantum nonlocality does not follow from Bell's theorem and that ultimately quantum mechanics is a local theory. Uhruh is also one of the main critics of the Afshar experiment.
Unruh also appears to be interested in music and teaches the Physics of Music.
