Biography

Benjamin Doyon is a Professor of Theoretical Physics in the Department of Mathematics at King's College London. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Physics from Université Laval in Quebec, Canada, in 1998, and completed his PhD at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, in 2004, specializing in integrable quantum field theory under the supervision of Professor Sergei Lukyanov. Doyon's career includes a postdoctoral fellowship at the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics at Oxford University, and a lectureship in the mathematics theoretical physics group at Durham University. In 2010, he was appointed to King's College and has progressed to the rank of Professor by 2021. Doyon has received multiple prestigious grants and awards, including the Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship and the EPSRC advanced grant. His research is focused on emerging complex phenomena in many-body systems, using integrability and quantum statistical physics to investigate theoretical principles and mathematical frameworks. His work significantly contributes to the fields of condensed matter and quantum entropy, also emphasizing the connections between quantum and classical physics through hydrodynamic descriptions. He is a key figure in the mathematical physics community and an active contributor to cross-disciplinary research in non-equilibrium science.
