Jeffrey A. Harvey
Jeffrey A. Harvey , called Jeff Harvey , (born February 15, 1955 in San Antonio , Texas ) is an American theoretical physicist who studies string theory.
Harvey graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics in 1977 and a PhD in physics from Caltech in 1981. As a post-doctoral student he was at Princeton University , where he became Assistant Professor in 1983 , Associate Professor in 1987 and Professor in 1990, and remained there until 1991. Since 1990 he has been a professor at the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago .
With David Gross , Emil Martinec and Ryan Rohm ( Princeton String Quartet ), he discovered one of the five superstring theories, the heterotic string theory, in 1985.
From 1986 to 1990 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and from 1987 to 1992 Presidential Young Investigator of the National Science Foundation . In 1992 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society and in 2004 a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . In 2014 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences .
