20.07.21 – At its meeting of 14-15 July 2021, the ETH Board has appointed Dr Victor Gorbenko as new Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at the Institute of Physics (IPHYS).

Dr Victor Gorbenko, currently Research Fellow at Stanford University, USA, was named as Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Physics, starting from the 1^st of February 2022.
Victor Gorbenko’s main domain of activity is Quantum Field Theory, with important implications to particle physics, cosmology and condensed matter physics. His research has already contributed to important scientific findings, in particular in the area quantum chromodynamics, where he characterized the dynamics of color fluxtubes, and in the study of renormalization group flows, where he invented the notion of Complex Conformal Field Theory. This young, very talented physicist shows exceptional potential and has the necessary abilities to succeed at EPFL, where he will also foster interconnection among different areas of fundamental physics.
