Dr. Xi Yin

Biography

Xi Yin is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Harvard University. His research focuses on fundamental aspects of string theory and its applications in physics and mathematics. He aims to achieve a complete description of quantum gravity and a unified theory of everything through string theory, which provides a powerful framework for solving problems in strongly coupled quantum field theories, conformal field theory, integrable systems, algebraic geometry, hyperbolic geometry, and more. Xi's past works have involved significant topics such as black holes, supersymmetric bound states in string theory, and the interaction between conformal field theory and gauge theory in various dimensions. His current research is oriented towards quantum gravity in low dimensions and the holographic duality between gauge theory and string theory/gravity, commonly known as the AdS/CFT correspondence. In addition to his research, Xi Yin is actively engaged in teaching string theory, helping to shape the understanding of fundamental physics.
