Petr Kravchuk

Dr. Petr Kravchuk is a Senior Lecturer in Theoretical Physics at the Department of Mathematics, King's College London, within the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. He holds a PhD from the California Institute of Technology (2018) and has held postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Advanced Study (2018–2021) and the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics (2021). His research focuses on non-perturbative aspects of Quantum Field Theories (QFTs), particularly Conformal Field Theories (CFTs), emphasizing the conformal bootstrap framework and numerical methods. He has received prestigious grants including the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant (2023–2028) and the Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2023–2025).

Key research areas include the structure of CFT spectra (e.g., Regge trajectories, light-ray operators), automorphic forms in bootstrap equations, and applications of high-performance computing (HPC) to extract precise CFT data. His work bridges mathematical rigor with physical insights, addressing topics like AdS/CFT correspondence, asymptotic observables, and detector models in weakly coupled theories.
