Eric Ling

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the FWF-funded project "A new Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity & Beyond" at the University of Vienna.  Before coming to Vienna, I had postdoc positions within the GeoTop group at the University of Copenhagen, at the Fields Institute as part of the Thematic Program on Nonsmooth Riemannian and Lorentzian Geometry, at Rutgers University, and at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. I completed my PhD in 2019 under the supervision of Greg Galloway. 

In August 2026, I will join the faculty at Florida State University as a tenure-track assistant professor.

My research interests include geometric analysis with applications to spacetime singularities and Lorentzian geometry, (in)-extendibility of spacetimes, and the general-relativsitic hydrogen problem. Here is a collection of my publications.

In the summer of 2025, I co-organized a masterclass in Copenhagen on geometric relativity with Annachiara Piubello and Niels Martin Møller.

In the fall of 2025, I co-organized an AMS Virtual Special Session meeting on New Approaches to Mathematical General Relativity.
