Igor Klebanov

Igor Klebanov is a Professor of Physics at Princeton University's Department of Physics. His research focuses on High Energy Theory, including quantum field theories and their dual descriptions by higher dimensional theories involving gravity, such as the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence. He is also interested in the physics of strong nuclear interactions and serves as the director of the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings. Klebanov is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and the director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science.

Igor R. Klebanov is a Professor of Physics at Princeton University, specializing in Quantum Field Theory and String Theory. His research explores the connections between gauge theories and string theory, particularly through the AdS/CFT correspondence. He has contributed to understanding dualities between supersymmetric gauge theories and gravitational systems, including the study of black branes, entropy, and conformal field theories. His work also addresses the thermodynamics of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories and the role of entanglement in probing confinement. Klebanov's research bridges theoretical high-energy physics and mathematical structures in string theory.
