Monica Jinwoo Kang

I am a Center of Particle Cosmology (CPC) Postdoctoral Fellow working on mathematical physics and high energy theory. Prior to this position, I was a Sherman Fairchild Postdoctoral Fellow at the California Institute of Technology, where I started after receiving a Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2019. My research is focused on understanding the fundamental nature of quantum gravity and quantum field theory and discovering mathematical structures therein, using and developing techniques from a variety of branches of theoretical physics and mathematics, including but not limited to conformal field theory, supersymmetric field theory, string theory, semiclassical gravity, quantum information theory, lattice gauge theory, algebraic geometry, and operator algebra.
