Neil Lambert

Neil Lambert is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at King's College London's Department of Mathematics within the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. He previously held a PPARC Advanced Fellowship at King's and worked at CERN from 2010-2013. His research focuses on supersymmetry, string theory, and M-theory, particularly studying M2 and M5 branes, non-relativistic field theories, and non-Lorentzian spacetime symmetries.

Education: BSc in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Toronto (1992), PhD in String Theory and Branes from the University of Cambridge (1996). Postdoctoral roles included positions at King's, ENS Paris, and Rutgers University.

Recent work explores non-relativistic brane dynamics, AdS/CFT correspondence, and M-theory's microscopic degrees of freedom. He chairs the STFC-funded Fundamental Physics UK virtual centre and edits Physics Letters B. Key contributions include the BLG model for M2-branes and advances in understanding non-supersymmetric branes.

Publications emphasize topics like null reductions of M5-branes, conformal field theories in 5D/6D, and non-Lorentzian symmetries. His research bridges string theory, quantum field theory, and geometry, with applications in holography and gauge-gravity duality.
