Professor
Martin Rocek is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on theoretical physics, including supersymmetry, supergravity, string theory, and mathematical physics. He has held a sabbatical at the String Theory Group in Amsterdam and maintains an active research group. His work bridges geometric structures with quantum field theories, exploring topics like dualities, sigma models, and topological field theories. Rocek's academic contributions span over four decades, with notable publications on supergravity, generalized Kähler geometry, and non-perturbative string theory. His research often intersects with advanced mathematical frameworks, such as homotopy algebras and geometric quantization. He has organized conferences like the Simons Workshop and collaborates internationally with institutions like Utrecht University and the University of Delaware. His recent work emphasizes the interplay between supersymmetric models and geometric structures, with applications to AdS/CFT correspondence and swampland conjectures. Rocek’s publications highlight a sustained engagement with foundational questions in theoretical physics, combining rigorous mathematical methods with physical insights.
