Gleb Kotoousov

Dr. Gleb Kotoousov is a Researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics within the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Leibniz University Hannover. His office is located in Building 3701, Room 224 at Appelstraße 2, 30167 Hanover, Germany. He maintains an active research profile with collaborations extending to Rutgers University.

Dr. Kotoousov's research focuses on integrable or exactly solvable models in field theory and statistical mechanics. His work explores critical phenomena through the scaling limit of integrable, critical 1+1 dimensional quantum spin chains, employing the ODE/IQFT correspondence to study non-rational CFTs with continuous critical exponent spectra. His research has significant applications in string theory (particularly AdS/CFT correspondence) and condensed matter systems with disorder. His work bridges theoretical physics with multiple mathematical disciplines including algebra, topology, geometry and mathematical analysis.

His recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to understanding quantum spin chains, chiral field theories, and vertex models through integrability approaches. His research methodology combines advanced mathematical techniques with physical insights to tackle complex problems in low-dimensional quantum systems.

Dr. Kotoousov participates in academic supervision, mentoring undergraduate and post-graduate students at both Leibniz University Hannover and Rutgers University. During the Winter 2024/2025 semester, he taught the Masters course 'Quantum Field Theory' at Leibniz University Hannover, demonstrating his commitment to advanced physics education.

Based at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Dr. Kotoousov contributes to one of Leibniz University Hannover's key research areas that connects with the university's strengths in Quantum Optics and Gravitational Physics, where over 350 researchers work at the interface of light, gravity, space, time and matter.
