معرفی
Jelle Hartong is a Lecturer in Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh's School of Mathematics. His research focuses on non-relativistic gravity, string theory, and fluid dynamics, with a particular interest in symmetry structures such as Carrollian and Galilean systems. He completed his undergraduate and doctoral studies at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, before embarking on postdoctoral positions in Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, and Amsterdam. His work bridges high-energy physics and gravitational theories, exploring topics like black hole thermodynamics, holography, and non-relativistic limits of string theories. He actively teaches advanced undergraduate courses, including 'Variational Calculus,' while adapting to online teaching methodologies during recent years.
Education:
- Bachelor's and Master's in Theoretical Physics, University of Groningen (Netherlands)
- PhD in Theoretical Physics, University of Groningen
Research Interests:
Hartong’s work centers on understanding non-relativistic limits of relativistic theories, particularly in string theory and gravity. He investigates Carrollian spacetimes, fluid dynamics in non-relativistic regimes, and the interplay between symmetries and holographic dualities. His contributions to Newton-Cartan geometry and fracton models highlight his exploration of novel geometric and algebraic structures in theoretical physics.
Teaching & Outreach:
He teaches advanced undergraduate courses in variational calculus and theoretical physics, emphasizing hands-on problem-solving. Despite challenges with online teaching, he maintains a commitment to student engagement through structured lectures and extended office hours.
Labs & Collaborations:
As part of Edinburgh’s School of Mathematics, Hartong contributes to the 'Structure & Symmetry' research group, collaborating on projects at the intersection of gravity, quantum field theory, and mathematical physics.
