Biography

Daniel Kabat

Daniel Kabat received his B.S. in physics and mathematics from California Polytechnic State University in 1988 and his Ph.D. in physics from MIT in 1993. He held post-doctoral positions at Rutgers University, New York University and the Institute for Advanced Study. He joined the faculty at Columbia University in 1999 before moving to Lehman College in 2008.

Education

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D., 1993)
California Polytechnic State Univ. (B.S, 1988).

Research Interests

Theoretical high-energy physics, in particular string theory, quantum gravity and AdS/CFT. The ultimate goal of this research is to understand the behavior of gravity, including cosmology and black holes, in a mathematically well-defined setting.
