Scholar-generated biography
Jaewon Song is a researcher at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) specializing in Quantum Field Theory and String Theory. His work explores advanced topics such as supersymmetry, renormalization group flows, and superconformal indices. Song's research includes the study of deformations of SCFTs, the role of W-algebras, and the connection between 4d and 2d theories through TQFT structures. His publications often focus on the interplay between instantons, chiral algebras, and modular constraints in conformal field theories. Song's contributions highlight the deep connections between quantum field theories and string theory, particularly in the context of M5-branes and Argyres-Douglas theories.
