Biography

Christopher Herzog joined the Department of Mathematics at King's College London in 2018 as a Professor of Theoretical Physics. Before moving to King's, he served as an Associate Professor at the Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University and was an Assistant Professor at Princeton University. Herzog completed his PhD at Princeton in 2002, where he was advised by Igor Klebanov. His research focuses on the AdS/CFT correspondence and generally gauge/gravity dualities, striving to understand strongly interacting field theories, specifically in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and low-energy phenomena using string theory. He has contributed significantly to understanding conformal field theories and their applications in theoretical physics and continuously engages in various ongoing research projects.
