معرفی
SIMON CARON-HUOT is an Assistant Professor of Physics at McGill University, joining in Fall 2016. He is affiliated with the McGill Centre for High Energy Physics and collaborates with institutions like the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study and the Niels Bohr Institute. His research focuses on high-energy particle theory, particularly scattering amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the N=4 super Yang-Mills model. He also explores the quark-gluon plasma's properties using hard probes in heavy ion collisions and studies gravitational theories, causality, and holography. His work emphasizes developing on-shell techniques for simplifying field theory calculations and advancing integrability and bootstrap methods.
Education: Simon Caron-Huot pursued his Ph.D. under the supervision of Guy David Moore at McGill University.
Research Interests: His primary areas include high-energy physics, theoretical physics, and applications of scattering amplitudes. He investigates supersymmetric field theories, causality constraints in gravitational systems, and the interplay between holography and field theory. Recent work addresses gravitational wave scattering, bulk causality in AdS/CFT, and thermal correlators' time independence in non-Abelian gauge theories.
Collaborations: He collaborates with leading researchers such as David Simmons-Duffin, Frank Coronado, and Yue-Zhou Li. His projects often involve multi-institution teams, including work at CERN, UCLA, and Stony Brook University.
Labs/Teams: Active in the McGill HEP Theory Group and contributes to the McGill Centre for High Energy Physics. He participates in initiatives like the S-Matrix Marathon and collaborates with the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study’s theoretical physics group.
