Axel Kleinschmidt

Dr. Axel Kleinschmidt serves as a Group Leader within the Department of Quantum Gravity and Unified Theories at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam, Germany. He leads the Exceptional Quantum Gravity research group and contributes to the Symmetries in Gravity and Amplitudes initiative, operating at the forefront of theoretical physics research.

His research centers on quantum gravity and unified field theories, with specialized focus on exceptional Lie groups/algebras, scattering amplitudes in gravitational contexts, and mathematical structures underlying string theory and M-theory. He investigates how exceptional symmetries manifest in quantum gravitational systems and their implications for fundamental unification principles, employing advanced algebraic and geometric frameworks to address deep questions in theoretical physics.
