Volker Schomerus is a Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Hamburg and a Lead Scientist at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron). His research focuses on the unification of string theory, quantum field theory, and mathematical physics, particularly through geometric quantization of spacetime and solving quantum theory challenges via geometric techniques. He coordinates the European RTN GATIS initiative and previously led the DESY Theory Group (2007–2010). Research Interests : Schomerus explores string theory's role in fundamental physics, including quantum geometry, holographic dualities, and integrable models. His work bridges particle physics, conformal field theory, and statistical mechanics, with emphasis on bootstrap methods, thermal correlators, and defect CFTs. Publications : Recent articles (2020–2025) demonstrate advances in multipoint conformal bootstrap, holographic interfaces, and thermal field theory. Key themes include integrability in CFT, lightcone limits, and applications of Gaudin models to higher-dimensional quantum systems. Academic Leadership : Heads research groups at DESY and Universität Hamburg, fostering collaborations in theoretical high-energy physics. No awards or students are explicitly listed in the sources.
