Biography

Simon Caron-Huot is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at McGill University, starting in Fall 2016. His research interests focus on high-energy particle theory, particularly scattering amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics and the theory of strong interactions. He aims to develop new on-shell techniques to simplify and enable new calculations within this domain. His work includes the study of the N=4 super Yang-Mills model, which is a significant advancement in solving field theories in four dimensions. Additionally, he is interested in the high-temperature state of strongly interacting matter, known as quark-gluon plasma, with a particular focus on modeling hard probes in the context of heavy ion collisions. Caron-Huot's contributions to the field are recognized at the McGill Centre for High Energy Physics, where he plays an active role in the academic community.
