Oleg Lunin

Oleg Lunin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University at Albany (SUNY). He obtained his PhD from Ohio State University in 2000, followed by postdoctoral positions at Ohio State University (2000–2002), the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (2002–2005), the University of Chicago (2005–2009), and the University of Kentucky (2009–2010). He joined the University at Albany as an Assistant Professor in 2010 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016.

His research explores fundamental problems in theoretical physics, including quantum gravity, string theory, and gauge/gravity duality. Key interests include the dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories, black hole quantum properties, and geometric structures in supergravity. His work often bridges mathematical physics with phenomenological implications for strong interactions and spacetime quantization.

Lunin's publications predominantly focus on black holes, T-dualities, and deformed geometries in string theory. Recent articles analyze higher-dimensional spacetimes, α′-corrections, and integrable systems, reflecting a consistent emphasis on exact solutions and holographic principles. Trends indicate deepening work on cosmological extensions of black hole geometries and non-abelian dualities.

Lab affiliations or team collaborations are not explicitly detailed, but his publications frequently involve co-authors from institutions like SUNY Albany, indicating active research networks.
