2008/07/30   HETG 또다른 새교수

Harvard HETG이 너무 Stringy한 faculty만 남나 했더니 현상론 쪽 교수도 새로 채용한 듯 싶다.

Matthew Schwartz's research is focused on expanding the boundaries of our current understanding of particle physics. This includes both developing new theoretical techniques for precision calculations and exploring the phenomenological consequences of new physics scenarios. He has contributed to diverse realms of particle physics, such as supergravity, flavor physics, quantum chromodynamics, B-physics, grand unification, and non-perturbative models of nuclear structure based on extra dimensions. Some of his work on quantum gravity demonstrated that gravitational theories may deform when quantized, which has contributed to the revitalization of interest in calculable, cosmologically relevant modifications of general relativity.

His current research is devoted to theoretical problems relevant to the experimental program of the Large Hadron Collider. He has been pioneering the development of an approach to high energy collider physics based on effective field theory. Applications include one of the world's best measurements of the strong coupling constant, and a new paradigm for simulating the production of high-energy jets in a collider environment. He is also developing methods for using top quarks to isolate and characterize beyond-the-standard model physics.
