Special Talk
The Swampland and Extra Dimensions Program
Presented by Ignatios Antoniadis has had a distinguished career at the Ecole Polytechnique, Sorbonne and LPTHE in Paris, and the Univ. of Bern, and served as the Head of the Theoretical Division at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland up until 2014. He has worked on a large variety of topics in theoretical physics, particle physics beyond the standard model (such as LHC phenomenology, supersymmetry and extra dimensions), cosmology (dark matter, dark energy) and string theory. His papers' citations number over 27,000. He has been awarded the Silver Medal by the French C.N.R.S.
In addition to the Friday Colloquium, Ignatios has agreed to host an informal discussion (rather than a formal seminar) with PandA students and faculty on the current research. Students are especially encouraged to attend this discussion and ask Ignatios questions about the status and future directions of theoretical physics and string theory.
