Bio

Asst. Prof Bourgine’s research interests lie at the interface of quantum integrable systems, string theory and representation theory of quantum groups. During his career, he has published a number of articles on a variety of topics in mathematical physics, including random matrix models, 2D quantum gravity, lattice statistical models, integrable hierarchies, supersymmetric gauge theories, quantum algebras and string theory. He is currently working mainly on the representation theory of quantum toroidal algebras, on which he has obtained several important new results that find application in the description of brane systems in string theory.

Asst. Prof Bourgine did his PhD at Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT) CEA-Saclay, he graduated from Université Paris Sud XI (now Paris-Saclay) in 2010. He previously held research positions in South Korea (Sogang University, APCTP, KIAS), Italy (INFN) and Australia (University of Melbourne).
