Eugenio Bianchi is an Italian theoretical physicist and associate professor at Pennsylvania State University who works on loop quantum gravity and black hole thermodynamics. He has derived the Bekenstein-Hawking formula S=A/4 for the entropy of non-extremal black holes from loop quantum gravity, for all values of the Immirzi parameter.
