معرفی
Alexander Maloney is the James McGill Professor of Physics at McGill University, currently on leave for the 2024-25 academic year. His primary affiliation is with the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science. He specializes in theoretical physics, with research interests spanning black hole thermodynamics, holography, quantum information theory, conformal field theory, and quantum cosmology. His work often explores the interplay between quantum gravity and strongly coupled systems through gauge/gravity duality frameworks.
Maloney has taught advanced courses such as Physics 551 (Quantum Mechanics), Physics 673 (Quantum Field Theory 2), and Physics 260 (Modern Physics & Relativity). He holds office hours by appointment and maintains active participation in the McGill High Energy Physics Theory community. His research has been published in leading journals, with recent work addressing topics like wormhole dynamics, de Sitter quantum gravity, and holographic cosmology.
Though no explicit grants or awards are listed in the provided materials, his extensive publication record and endowed professorship reflect significant contributions to theoretical physics. Maloney’s research integrates advanced mathematical techniques, including modular forms and conformal bootstrap methods, to probe foundational questions in quantum gravity and cosmology.
