JeffFest

Through May 15, 2022 MCP 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 begin Friday afternoon, and conclude mid-day on Sunday.  Further information may be found at https://kctp.uchicago.edu/events/jefffest/

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.
