Boris Pioline

Boris Pioline (born July 4, 1972 in Saint-Martin-de-Fontenay , Département Calvados ) is a French theoretical physicist who deals with string theory , black holes, supergravity and high energy physics, as well as related mathematical issues.

career

Pioline went to school in Caen and studied from 1992 at the École normal supérieure of Paris (ENS). In 1994 he obtained his licentiate and master's degree in physics from the University of Paris VI (Pierre and Marie Curie) and his diploma in theoretical physics in 1995 from Édouard Brézin . In 1994 he was also at Stanford University in California with Steven Chu in the atomic interferometry group. From 1995 he was at the École polytechnique , where he received his doctorate under Ignatios Antoniadis in 1998 ( non-disorder theoretical aspects of string theory ). In 1996/97 he was in the theory department at CERN and then again at the École polytechnique. From 1999 he was at the Center national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS). From 1999 to 2001 he was a post-doctoral student at Harvard University in the group of Juan Maldacena , Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa . In 2003 he completed his habilitation. He is Research Director of the CNRS at the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Hautes Energies (LPTHE) of the University of Paris VI and the CNRS. From 2011 to 2017 he was at CERN.
