- Mao Zeng, University of Edinburgh
I am a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics, University of Edinburgh. I obtained my BA and MA from Cambridge University, U.K., and PhD from Stony Brook University, USA, under the advice of Prof. George Sterman. I previously held research positions at UC Los Angeles (2015-2018), ETH Zürich (2018-2020), and Oxford University (2021).
My research uses quantum field theory to make precise predictions for fundamental physics experiments. In the last few years, my collaborators and I developed a formalism for computing classical general relativity obesrvables, relevant for LIGO / VIRGO observations, by taking classical limits of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory. I am also involved in precise calculations relevant for the Large Hadron Collider, in perturbative QCD and sometimes in simplifying supersymmetric theories.
My research brings together a wide array of theoretical developments in high energy physics, including modern methods for scattering amplitudes, state-of-the-art loop integration techniques, and effective field theories.
