About
Simon Ekhammar is a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at King's College London, affiliated with the Theoretical Physics Group. He transitioned to this role in December 2024 after joining as a Research Associate in 2023 under Professor Nikolay Gromov's supervision. His research focuses on quantum integrable systems, AdS/CFT correspondence, and representation theory, with contributions to high-energy physics and string theory.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, Uppsala University, Sweden (supervised by Dmytro Volin)
Research Interests: Ekhammar explores advanced topics in theoretical physics, including spectral curves, integrability in gauge/gravity duality, and mathematical structures underlying string theory. His work addresses technical challenges in functional separation of variables and boundary conditions in quantum field theories.
Publications: Recent work emphasizes applications of integrability to strongly coupled systems (N=4 SYM) and spectral curve techniques in AdS3/CFT2. Collaborations involve experts like Nikolay Gromov and Pavlo Ryan, with a focus on numerical algorithms and first-principle approaches.
Grants/Advising: No specific grants or student advising roles are documented in the provided texts.
Labs/Teams: Active within the Theoretical Physics Group at King’s, contributing to research on supersymmetry and M-theory.
