Wenjie Ma

Bio

Wenjie Ma is an Assistant Professor at Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS). Prior to joining SIMIS, he served as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Yau Mathematical Sciences Center of Tsinghua University and Yanqi Lake Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA). He obtained his Ph.D in physics at Laval University in 2021.

Professor Ma’s current research interests mainly foucs on conformal field theory and the principle of holography, including non-perturbative booststrap program, AdS/CFT, dS/CFT as well as celestial holography.
