About this lecture:
The Public Lecture is given in the context of the String Math 2023 conference which is held at the University of Melbourne. Being hosted in Australia for the first time, this international conference series brings together world-leading researchers from both physics and mathematics communities to discuss the latest scientific developments in String Theory, a promising candidate for the unification of quantum theory and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
