# Research Profiles

(Use the Heading 3, not boldface, setting for the line with your name on it.)

### John Cardy

I am interested in CFTs (mostly in 2d but also higher dimensions) and using these to understand the physics of entanglement and quantum quenches (time evolution from a pure state with non-zero energy density above the vacuum.)

### Marty Einhorn

I have an abiding interest in particle physics and cosmology.
Before retiring, I was Deputy Director at KITP.

### Greg Huber

I am a biophysicist and a Deputy director.

### Ken Intriligator

I am interested in RG flows, CFTs, and supersymmetry, in various spacetime dimensions. I am a co-organizer, and will be here for essentially the entire program, aside from regular trips back home to San Diego.

### Peter Orland

I am at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, both part of CUNY (in New York City). I am interested in the following: 1. Correlation functions of $d=1+1$ theories, specifically the SU(N)XSU(N) sigma model as $N\rightarrow \infty$ (this is much harder than the O(N) model), and their applications. 2. Cold-atomic-lattice simulations of gauge-invariant field theories. 3. Some heretofore unexplored aspects of reflection positivity in lattice Yang-Mills theories (infrared bounds on Polyakov loops in particular) and in higher lattice gauge theories (fields on plaquettes, actions on cubes).

### Joe Polchinski

While largely distracted by the firewall, my current QFT interests are magnetic solitons in the low energy effective theory on intersecting branes, and deriving the AdS/higher spin duality from the Wilson RG.
