معرفی
Dr. Edward Mazenc is a Research Fellow in Theoretical Physics at ETH Zürich, affiliated with the group of Prof. Matthias Gaberdiel. His work focuses on gauge/string duality, spacetime emergence, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. Previously, he was a Kadanoff Fellow at the University of Chicago and completed his PhD at Stanford under Prof. Sean Hartnoll. His research bridges quantum information theory, random matrix theory, and topological string models.
Education:
- PhD in Theoretical Physics, Stanford University (2017)
- Masters in Mathematics, University of Cambridge (Maths Tripos)
- Undergraduate Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Research interests include deriving exact equivalences between matrix integrals and topological strings, exploring connections between random matrices and moduli space geometry, and extending these results to full AdS/CFT frameworks. His recent work with Prof. Rajesh Gopakumar established foundational results in the simplest gauge/string duality.
Key contributions span theoretical cosmology (de Sitter microstates), quantum gravity deformations, and interdisciplinary applications like N95 mask decontamination using thermal methods.
