CV

Biography

Laurentiu Rodina obtained his PhD from Princeton University, under the supervision of Nima Arkani-Hamed. He was a postdoctoral fellow at CEA Saclay-Paris and National Taiwan University, and a Marie Curie Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. He joined BIMSA as assistant professor in 2023. His research is focused on bootstrap approaches in QFT and CFT: describing the space of theories consistent with fundamental physical principles.
