Sanjaye Ramgoolam

Dr. Sanjaye Ramgoolam is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on string theory, quantum field theory, representation theory, and combinatorics, with particular emphasis on gauge-string duality (AdS/CFT correspondence) and permutation invariant matrix models. He has pioneered mathematical frameworks using representation theory and combinatorics to explore the holographic map between quantum field theories and string theory. His work also extends to applications in financial matrix models and computational linguistics via matrix statistics.

Teaching roles include advanced courses such as Mathematical Techniques 4 and Advanced Quantum Field Theory. He has supervised numerous PhD students, including Costis Papageorgakis and Tom Brown, and collaborates with researchers like Andreas Brandhuber and Rodolfo Russo on grants like 'Amplitudes, Strings and Duality' funded by STFC. Recent research highlights include Gaussian permutation invariant matrix models, quantum thermodynamics in large N systems, and combinatorial topological string theories. His work bridges fundamental physics with mathematical structures, offering insights into quantum gravity and dualities.

Key grants include the Royal Society-funded 'Combinatorics and algorithms for quantum states in holography' (2025-2026) and STFC's 'Amplitudes, Strings and Duality' (2023-2026). His 15 most recent articles span topics like eigenvalue systems for multi-matrix invariants, permutation symmetry in quantum thermodynamics, and Kronecker coefficients from ribbon graphs. Though no explicit awards are listed, his extensive publications and grants reflect significant contributions to theoretical physics.
