Ron Donagi
Ron Yehuda Donagi (born March 9, 1956 ) is an American mathematician who studies algebraic geometry and string theory.
Donagi received his PhD in 1977 with Phillip Griffiths at Harvard University (On the geometry of Grassmannians). He is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania .
In 1981/82, 1996/97 and 2013 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study , where he worked with Edward Witten .
Donagi originally came from algebraic geometry as a mathematician and applied this from the 1980s in string theory and related theories such as supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories to the development of models for the standard model in heterotic string theory from suitable compactifications.
In 1982 he became a research fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellow ). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . His PhD students include Tony Pantev and Ludmil Katzarkov .
He was married to the history professor Mine Ener.
