Marten Reehorst

Dr. Marten Reehorst is a Researcher in the Theoretical Physics group at the Department of Mathematics, King’s College London. He holds a PhD in Physics from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and previously held a joint Research Associate position at the Institute Des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) and École Polytechnique Paris before joining King’s in 2023. His research focuses on quantum field theory applications in high energy physics and condensed matter systems, leveraging non-perturbative methods like the numerical conformal bootstrap and renormalization group techniques. He pioneered the 'navigator method,' revolutionizing numerical approaches to conformal bootstrap problems. Current projects include solving phase transitions in statistical physics and exploring the conformal window of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).

His research interests span critical phenomena, phase transitions, and advanced computational techniques in theoretical physics. His work bridges mathematical rigor and physical insights, addressing longstanding open problems in both high energy and condensed matter physics.

Key contributions include rigorous bounds on operator behavior in the 3D Ising model and applying bootstrap methods to QCD. He collaborates within King’s Theoretical Physics group, which focuses on string theory, supersymmetry, and related areas.
