Except the PI several other researchers participate in various aspects of this research effort.

SENIOR RESEARCHERS:

A. Amaritti is researcher at the University of Milano. He is well known for his work on supersymmetric theories and string theory.

P. Anastasopoulos is a senior researcher at the University of Vienna. He is well-known for his work on the phenomenological aspects of strings theories.

M. Bianchi is a senior researcher. He is a professor at Universita di Roma Tor Vergata. He is a world-reknown expert on string theory, both on theoretical and model building aspects, as well as on the AdS/CFT correspondence.

C. Charmousis is a senior scientist (currently at LPT, Orsay) with recognized expertise in gravitational physics, modifications of gravity and braneworlds.

M. Jarvinen is a well known scientist (Currently at the University of Tel Aviv) who is an expert on holographic approaches to QCD and similar strongly coupled theories.

F. Nitti is an a senior APC (UMR-7164) researcher and professor at Universite Paris 7. He is internationally known for his founding works on holographic models for QCD, and their phenomenological implications, as well as the structure of the holographic renormalization group and the calculation of the effective action in strongly coupled theories. Through his early work, he is also an expert on modified gravity theories and the DGP mechanism, that are essential parts of the physics investigated in this project.

V. Niarchos is a senior researcher and professor based at the University of Crete. Along with Obers and Emparan he is the intellectual father of the black-fold idea and method. He has an established international reputation for his works on tachyon condensation, holographic multigravity theories and exact calculations and dualities in supersymmetric theories.

K. Papadodimas is a senior researcher currently at CERN. He is well known in the field for his early works on the thermodynamics and phase transitions of YM theories, his work on holography and various aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence, his work on solving supersymmetric theories, but most importantly for his recent theory (with Raju) on black hole information loss.

N. Tsamis is a senior researcher and professor based in Crete. Together with R. Woodard he proposed in the nineties the relaxation mechanism for the cosmological constant based on quantum graviton back-reaction. He is an expert on inflationary physics.
