Chronological biography
1976
Extends Hawking-radiation calculations to rotating black holes and studies how evaporation removes angular momentum.
1977
Calculates Hawking emission of electrons and muons from a nonrotating black hole and analyzes fluctuations in the hole's electric charge.
1983
With Stephen Hawking, identifies the thermodynamic phase transition now called the Hawking-Page transition in anti-de Sitter space.
1993
Derives the characteristic entropy evolution now called the Page curve for radiation from an evaporating black hole under unitary evolution.
