Biography
Marolf gained his Ph.D. from University of Texas at Austin in 1992, under Bryce DeWitt with a thesis on Green's Bracket Algebras and Their Quantization.[1] His undergraduate-degree is from William Jewell College, in 1987.
He is an expert on thermodynamics of black holes, gravitational aspects in string theory, classical- and quantum-gravity. In the past he has worked on the canonical approach to quantum-gravity, lower-dimensional models of quantum-gravity, issues related to quantization of diffeomorphism-invariant theories, and a number of other topics. He has published 113 scientific papers through 2007.
