معرفی
Mirjam Cvetic is the Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts & Sciences. She specializes in high-energy theoretical physics, focusing on string theory, M-theory, black hole physics, and supergravity. Her research bridges fundamental theory and phenomenological implications, with contributions to solutions in string vacua and nonperturbative gravitational phenomena.
Education includes a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland (1984), M.A. and B.S. from the University of Ljubljana (1981, 1979). She has held positions since 1984 at institutions like SLAC and the University of Pennsylvania, where she became Full Professor in 1999.
Research interests span superstring theory, compactifications, and black hole microstates. Notable contributions include supersymmetric standard models from intersecting branes, M-theory conifolds, and studies of rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter spaces. She explores F-theory compactifications for realistic particle physics models and studies anomalies in higher-form symmetries.
Key awards include the NSF Career Advancement Award (1995) and the B. Kidric Award (1983). Her work on black hole thermodynamics, generalized symmetries, and swampland conjectures has advanced understanding of quantum gravity and holography. Current efforts focus on STU black holes, subtracted geometries, and the interplay between string theory and particle physics.
