Education

Haco received her PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2019.[2] During her time at Cambridge, she worked with Stephen Hawking, Malcolm Perry and Andrew Strominger on the black hole information paradox. She spent a year as a visiting fellow at Cambridge from 2017 to 2018 and also spent a year at Harvard. In 2020, Haco was heavily featured in the Netflix documentary Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know, which chronicled the use of the Event Horizon Telescope to take the first photograph of a black hole, as well as the work of Haco, Hawking, Perry and Strominger as they attempted to better understand the black hole information paradox.[3] [4]
