Roger Penrose

Sir Roger Penrose (born 8 August 1931) is an English mathematician, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, and an honorary fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and University College London.

Penrose has contributed to the mathematical physics of general relativity and cosmology. He won the Royal Society Science Books Prize for ''The Emperor's New Mind'' (1989), which outlines his views on physics and consciousness. He followed it with ''The Road to Reality'' (2004), billed as "A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe". He shared the 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics with Stephen Hawking for the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems, and the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics with Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity".
