Monica Jinwoo Kang is an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University's Department of Physics and Astronomy, specializing in mathematical physics and quantum gravity. Her research bridges theoretical physics and mathematics through holography, operator algebras, and quantum error correction. Education: PhD in Physics (Harvard, 2019), Bachelor's in Mathematics and Physics (UC Berkeley, 2012), Korea Science Academy Her work focuses on non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theory and quantum gravity, particularly through entanglement structures, bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT, and geometric engineering of SCFTs. She has developed novel operator-algebraic frameworks for understanding holography in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and discovered isomorphic superconformal theories with identical central charges. Recent publications demonstrate her expertise in multiparty entanglement holography, generalized symmetry constraints on 4D SCFTs, and nonperturbative gravity corrections to bulk reconstruction, with implications for baby universe formalism and quantum error correction. Scientific Awards: AKPA Outstanding Young Researcher Award (2025), Sherman Fairchild Fellowship, Purcell Fellowship, J. D. Jackson Award She has organized international conferences on stringy geometry and quantum field theory, and contributed to pedagogical lectures at institutions like Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the Simons Center. Her interdisciplinary approach combines algebraic geometry, lattice gauge theory, and quantum information to address fundamental questions in gravity and field theory.
