Matt Strassler

Matt Strassler is a theoretical physicist, blogger and writer.  He is currently an Associate of the Department of Physics at Harvard University, where he was formerly a Visiting Scholar and Visiting Professor. Previously he was a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington and Rutgers University. He was a long-term member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and has also been a visitor at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence and the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara.

His research spans many areas of high-energy physics, and his insights into the subtle behaviour of strong forces have been influential in areas that range from mathematical physics and string theory to experimental particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider and beyond.
