Prof. Daniel Z Freedman

Professor of Physics and Applied Mathematics, Emeritus

Primary DLC

Department of Mathematics

MIT Room: 2-106

Areas of Interest and Expertise

Theoretical Particle Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Supergravity
Supersymmetry
Applied Mathematics

Research Summary

Professor Freedman's research is in quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and string theory with an emphasis on the role of supersymmetry. His most recent area of concentration is the AdS/CFT correspondence in which results on the strong coupling limit of certain 4-dimensional gauge theories can be obtained from calculations in classical 5-dimensional supergravity.
