演讲者介绍
Liang Kong is a Professor of Mathematics at SUSTC (Shenzhen University of Science and Technology), specializing in Mathematical Physics. His research focuses on topological field theories, 2d conformal field theories, category theory, representation theory, and topological phases of matter. Kong earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Rutgers University in 2005. He has contributed significantly to the study of open-string vertex algebras, modular invariance, and topological orders in physics. His notable publications include works in journals such as Comm. Math. Phys., Adv. Math., and Phys. Rev. B. Kong has collaborated extensively with researchers like Yi-Zhi Huang, Ingo Runkel, and Xiao-Gang Wen, advancing the mathematical framework behind quantum field theory and topological phases.
