Nature in the world-order was fitted together
out of unlimiteds and limiters,
both the whole world-order
and all the things in it.
Philolaus of Croton, On Nature.*
Welcome to my personal website. My name is Wolfgang Martin Wieland. I am a theoretical physicist and currently a researcher at IQOQI Vienna.
My main research interests are in general relativity and quantum gravity. Research achievements and ongoing projects on quasi-local observables, spin structure of quantum spacetime, spinfoams, Jackiw–Teitelboim gravity, topological field theories and the relationship between the loop gravity and twistor approaches to quantum gravity. Under-graduate studies in Austria (Innsbruck and Vienna), PhD from France (Marseille), postdocs in Austria, Canada and the U.S.A. Thesis prize from Aix-Marseille University in 2014. Invited speaker and invited plenary speaker at various international conferences. Bronstein Prize for research in Loop Quantum Gravity in 2019.
