Rate My Professor Nick Dorey

As a member of the DAMTP High Energy Physics research group, Dorey's work centers on gauge field theories and string theory, with particular emphasis on supersymmetric gauge theories and their duality properties. His recent research investigates the emergence of integrability in both gauge theories and string theories in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Notable publications include 'On the singularities of the magnon S-matrix' (Phys. Rev. D 76, 2007, with Hofman and Maldacena), 'Dyonic giant magnons' (JHEP 0609, 2006, with Chen and Okamura), 'Magnon bound states and the AdS/CFT correspondence' (J. Phys. A 39, 2006), 'The calculus of many instantons' (Phys. Rept. 371, 2002, with Hollowood, Khoze, and Mattis), 'Factorisation of 3d N=4 twisted indices and the geometry of vortex moduli space' (JHEP, 2020, with Crew and Zhang), and 'ADHM and the 4d quantum Hall effect' (JHEP, 2018, with Barns-Graham, Lohitsiri, Tong, and Turner). He teaches String Theory in Part III Mathematics, Electrodynamics in Part II, and supervises PhD students. Dorey has given public lectures, including 'What is quantum field theory?' to the Cambridge University Mathematical Society.
