Gary Horowitz is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; general relativity and string theory of black holes
Horowitz is a theoretical physicist who has bridged general relativity and string theory, studying black holes, cosmic singularities and the microscopic origin of black-hole entropy, and helping develop holographic (gauge/gravity) methods applied to condensed matter. He has been at UC Santa Barbara since 1983 and received the 2025 Dirac Medal. Horowitz appears in specialist indexes of Jewish scientists; his published biographies do not detail his background.
