A. W. Peet

A. W. Peet (born Amanda W. Peet[1] in New Zealand) is a professor of physics at the University of Toronto. Peet's research interests include a focus on string theory as a quantum theory of gravity, quantum field theory and applications of string theory to black holes, gauge theories, cosmology,[2] and the correspondence between conformal field theories and anti-de Sitter space.[3]

In 1990, Peet received a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Canterbury and in 1994 a doctorate in physics from Stanford University. From 1994 to 1997 they worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University and from 1997 to 2000 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara. Since 2000, Peet teaches and conducts research as a full professor at the University of Toronto.[2] Peet is an affiliate of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.[4]

Peet is non-binary and is a New Zealand citizen with a passport using an unspecified gender. The professor debated fellow University of Toronto colleague clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson on Canadian public television on several occasions, garnering significant public attention.[2][5][6][7]
