معرفی
Prof. Razvan Gurau is a Professor at the Institut für Theoretische Physik, University of Heidelberg. His research focuses on mathematical physics, with expertise in random tensor models and tensor field theories. He pioneered the discovery of the melonic limit and 1/N expansion, advancing applications in quantum gravity, conformal field theories (CFTs), and condensed matter systems.
Research Interests:
- Non-perturbative and perturbative aspects of quantum field theories
- Higher-dimensional random geometries via tensor models
- Analytically tractable CFTs relevant to AdS/CFT correspondence
- Renormalization group flows and melonic universality classes
Organized conferences include Random Geometry in Heidelberg (2022) and The QFT Path (2024). He has delivered invited talks at institutions like the University of Geneva and DESY Hamburg, focusing on topics such as fixed points in tensor field theories and random tensor universality.
Prof. Gurau has supervised PhD and Master’s students, including Sabine Harribey (renormalization in tensor field theories) and Davide Lettera (large-N theories). His ERC-funded project explores applications of the melonic limit across quantum gravity and condensed matter physics.
Teaching includes courses like Höhere Mathematik für Physiker and leading the Tensor Journal Club.
