Welcome to Sebastian Ellis, Kara Farnsworth and Maximilian Schwick.

The primary alignment of Sebastian’s research with the SwissMAP mission is in the field of quantum field theory, which he applies to understanding phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. He obtained his PhD at the University of Michigan in 2017 before doing a 3-year postdoc at SLAC and spending one year as a postdoc at IPhT Saclay. In 2021 he moved to Geneva with an Ambizione grant, where he has a PhD student working on precision effective field theory calculations.

Kara earned her PhD from the University of California Davis, and has previously been a postdoc at the Czech Academy of Sciences and Case Western Reserve University before joining the University of Geneva. Her current research interests include: scale vs. conformal invariance, quantum field theory in curved space and Hamiltonian truncation.

Maximilian got his PhD from the university of Lisbon, supervised by Ricardo Schiappa and working on Matrix Models and Minimal String Theories using Resurgent Methods. Furthermore he is interested in Topological String Theory and the computation of Resurgent Stokes Data.
