Visiting postdoc Daniele Marmiroli

Subatomic Physics

Daniele received his Ph.D. in 2012 from University of Parma, Italy. His thesis work mainly focused on Wilson loops in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence for three-dimensional superconformal Chern-Simons theory. As a main result, he collaborated in computing at weak coupling the generalized cusp anomalous dimensions for ABJ theories, which unveiled a double-exponentiation structure in quiver theories. Over the past year Daniele has been working on the resummation of perturbative series in (non-)covariant gauges and on "less supersymmetric" Wilson loops in ABJM. At present he is interested in investigating the string/gauge theory correspondence for non-maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions. He is also interested in localization and matrix models.

Visiting PhD student Martha Lasia

Condensed Matter Physics

Martha is a visiting PhD student from the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM) at Universidad Autonóma de Madrid in Spain, where she is studying electronic properties of topological insulator slabs under the supervision of Professor Luis Brey. Her visit to Nordita is supported by a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education.
