University of Chicago
Michelson Center for Physics, Room 201
It is our pleasure to announce a celebration in honor of Jeff Harvey’s 65th birthday, to be held the weekend of May 13-15, 2022 (originally scheduled for May 2020, and deferred due to the pandemic). The event will consist of a scientific symposium that will take place in the Michelson Center for Physics beginning Friday afternoon, and concluding mid-day on Sunday. There will be a dinner for conference participants and colleagues on the evening of Saturday, May 14.
Major themes of Jeff's work include foundational contributions to string theory, quantum field theory, the quantum theory of black holes, and mathematical physics. Speakers will both review Jeff’s manifold contributions, as well as cover recent advances and future directions in theoretical physics.
Due to pandemic restrictions, this event is limited to the UChicago community and invited participants.
