معرفی
Felix Haehl is a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)/ERC Frontier Principal Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, leading the research team for the ERC-funded project 'Chaos and Coarse-Graining in Holography' since 2022. He is also Director of the Southampton Theory, Astrophysics and Gravity (STAG) Research Centre since 2023. His academic background includes a PhD from Durham University (2016), and MSc/BSc degrees from ETH Zurich (2012/2010), with research visits at UC Santa Barbara, Perimeter Institute, and UC Davis.
His research focuses on theoretical physics, particularly string theory, AdS/CFT duality, quantum gravity, and non-equilibrium systems. Central themes include thermality, entropy, real-time dynamics, and chaos. He actively supervises PhD students in Physics and Mathematical Sciences. His work spans topics such as black hole formation, quantum chaos in conformal field theories, and holographic methods applied to condensed matter systems.
Key research projects include exploring chaotic conformal field theories via spectral statistics and arithmetic chaos, as well as studying Euclidean wormholes through quantum chaos and number theory. He has published extensively in high-impact journals like Journal of High Energy Physics and Physical Review D, with recent work on operator growth in black holes and spin liquid-glass crossovers.
Felix’s research integrates advanced mathematical techniques, including modular invariance, random matrix theory, and Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, to address fundamental questions in quantum gravity and holography. His contributions bridge theoretical frameworks with computational models, such as quantum circuits and collision dynamics in black hole interiors.
