Sergei Gennadjewitsch Gukow
Sergei Gennadjewitsch Gukow ( Russian Сергей Геннадьевич Гуков , English transcription Sergei Gennodievich Gukov ; born April 17, 1977 in Moscow ) is a Russian theoretical physicist and mathematician who deals with string theory and related areas.
In 1992 Gukov received first prize at the Physics Olympiad in Russia and first prize at the Moscow Mathematical Olympiad. He studied mathematics and physics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with an intermediate diploma degree in 1997 and at Princeton University with a master's degree in physics in 1999 and a doctorate under Edward Witten in 2001. He then went to Harvard University . Since 2004 he has been a professor at Caltech and from 2006 he was also a temporary professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara .
In Russia he was also at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics and at ITEP .
In addition to string theory, quantum gravity , M-theory and similar areas, he also deals with related mathematical questions, for example in knot theory . With Albert Schwarz and Cumrun Vafa in 2004 he gave a physical interpretation of the Khovanov homology , based on the work of Vafa and Hirosi Ooguri .
He was a scholarship holder of the Soros Foundation in Physics from 1994 to 1995, a scholarship from the President of the Russian Federation from 1995 to 1996, and from the Russian government in 1996/97, and a Fellow of the Clay Mathematics Institute from 2001 to 2006 and a Sloan Fellow in 2007 . In 2000 he received the ITEP Pomeranschuk Prize for Young Scientists.
He is an external member of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics . In 2007 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study .
