معرفی
Ron Reid-Edwards is an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) and the Faculty of Mathematics. He is also a Korner Fellow in Mathematics at Trinity Hall, where he has held a College Associate Professor position since 2017. Prior to his current role, he held academic positions at the University of Hull, University of Oxford, City University, London, and the University of Hamburg.
- Education: PhD in Mathematics from Queen Mary, University of London (2002-2006)
His research lies at the intersection of String Theory, Quantum Field Theory, and Twistor Theory, motivated by the goal to understand Quantum Gravity. His work explores non-geometric backgrounds, doubled geometry, and generalized T-duality, with applications to compactification scenarios and gauge-gravity dualities.
The 15 most recent publications highlight his focus on foundational questions in String Theory, including ambitwistor strings, lattice gerbes, and flux compactifications. These works often intersect with Supergravity, Conformal Field Theory, and D-brane physics, emphasizing geometric and algebraic structures.
Scientific awards include:
- Korner Fellowship in Mathematics
Ron contributes to postgraduate education as the Associate Director of Taught Postgraduate Education in the Faculty of Mathematics, teaching advanced courses such as Part III Advanced Quantum Field Theory and Part III String Theory.
