Matthew T. Walters

Matthew T. Walters is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematical & Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics. He is also a Royal Society University Research Fellow and a member of the Edinburgh Mathematical Physics Group. His research focuses on nonperturbative aspects of quantum field theory, holography, and the conformal bootstrap. He actively supervises PhD students in areas such as scattering amplitudes, thermalization, chaos in quantum field theories, and quantum gravity.

Key research interests include Hamiltonian truncation methods, light cone dynamics, conformal field theory applications, and nonperturbative S-matrix constructions. His work bridges mathematical rigor with high-energy physics phenomena, often leveraging advanced computational techniques to explore quantum systems beyond perturbative limits.

Notable achievements include contributions to thermalization studies in low-dimensional QFTs and advancements in nonperturbative S-matrix frameworks. Walters collaborates internationally, with recent partnerships highlighted in his publications. His research outputs are frequently published in top journals like Journal of High Energy Physics and SciPost Physics.
