Professor Dr. Jan Ambjørn

Biography

Jan Ambjørn is a professor emeritus at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, specializing in theoretical high energy, astroparticle, and gravitational physics. His research focuses on fundamental concepts such as quantum gravity, statistical theory, random surfaces, and matrix models, with applications to large-N quantum chromodynamics (QCD), confinement, and lattice gauge theories. Additionally, he explores topics in electroweak theory under extreme conditions, including strong fields and high temperatures, and investigates the baryon asymmetry and the early universe. His contributions to black hole physics have helped shape current understanding in the field. Throughout his career, Ambjørn has collaborated with various research institutes and contributed to numerous publications, advancing knowledge in fundamental theoretical physics.
