Postdoctoral Research
Allan Adams-Research Scientist
I am interested in the things microscopic string theory has to say about effective field theory, and in novel experimental strategies for testing classical and quantum gravity.
Henriette Elvang (Pappalardo Fellow)
I am interested in string theory, gravity and quantum field theory. Currently my work is focused on higher dimensional black holes and the role they play in string theory.
Oliver Jahn
QCD, lattice gauge theory, topological objects in field theory, chiral fermions, noncommutative geometry.
Alejandro Jenkins
Effective field theories, inflation, dark energy, LHC physics, particle physics and cosmology beyond the standard model, Lorentz violation
Bjorn Lange
My research focuses on the development and application of theoretical tools that enable us to control the effects from strong interactions in weak B-meson decays. These theoretical tools include effective field theories, factorization theorems, symmetries, and heavy-quark expansions. The major goals are to test the standard model of particle physics, extract its fundamental parameters, explore the phenomenon of CP violation, and to search for New Physics at higher energies.
Massimo Mannarelli (INFN Fellowship)
My research interests include color superconductivity and quark-gluon plasma physics.
Harvey Meyer
My research interests concern non-perturbative phenomena in QCD and related theories. I use lattice Monte-Carlo techniques to study them and make quantitative predictions. Recently I have worked on simulation algorithms with dynamical quarks, as well as the QCD string, glueballs and the large-N expansion.
Alessandro Torrielli-INFN Fellowship
I am currently interested in the problem of integrability in the AdS-CFT correspondence, and in topics concerning Hopf Algebras and Quantum Groups. I am also interested in String Field Theory, D-brane decay, and noncommutative geometry.
Brian Wecht
I'm interested in quantum field theory and string theory. Recently, I've
been concentrating on supersymmetric gauge theories, and studying properties
of such theories as they undergo renormalization group flow. Other recent
areas of my research include nongeometric compactifications of string theory
and their relationship to
asymmetric orbifolds, and exploring gauge theories via string theory.
