Simon Caron-Huot

Assistant Professor of Physics

I am an assistant professor of physics at McGill university (starting Fall 2016).

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are in high-energy particle theory, in particular I study scattering amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong interaction, aiming to develop new on-shell techniques to simplify and enable new calculations. I also study the N=4 super Yang-Mills model, which could become the first exactly solved field theory in four dimensions. I am also interested in a high-temperature state of strongly interacting matter called the quark-gluon plasma, with particular emphasis on modeling hard probes of the plasma in the context of heavy ion collisions.
