Hiroshi Hirosi Ooguri Oguri

Hiroshi (Hirosi Ooguri) Oguri is the Fred Kavli Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics and the Kent and Joyce Kresa Leadership Chair, Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy, at the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and string theory, where he explores mathematical structures to develop theoretical tools for fundamental physics questions. His work has also inspired progress in mathematics. Oguri's academic journey includes positions at Kyoto University, the University of Tokyo, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, Berkeley, before joining Caltech in 2000.

Hirosi Ooguri is a physicist whose research focuses on elementary particle physics, quantum field theory, and string theory. His work explores the connections between large N field theories, string theory, and gravity, as well as the geometry of the string landscape and the swampland. Ooguri has contributed to understanding the distance and de Sitter conjectures on the swampland, black hole attractors, and holography in defect conformal field theories. His research also includes topics such as Wilson loops, minimal surfaces, and symmetries in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. Ooguri's publications often intersect with topological field theories, holomorphic anomalies, and the WZW model.
