Julio received a Burke Prize Postdoctoral Fellowship in Theoretical Physics at Caltech and Justin will be a Research Assistant Professor at the Simons Center at Stony Brook as well as a regular visitor at IPMU near Tokyo. Justin's research interests include string perturbation theory, superconformal field theories, and topological phases of matter and their relation to anomalies. Julio is interested in everything, although his graduate work focused primarily on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory.
The Bhaumik Institute congratulates Professor Thomas Dumitrescu on his naming as a 2026 Laureate of the New Horizons in Physics Prize for his discovery and development of the theory of “generalized symmetries” in quantum field theory.
The International Congress of Basic Science recently awarded Zvi Bern and Mikhail Solon a 2026 Best Paper Frontiers of Science Award for their paper, together with their collaborators, "

Congratulations to Prof. Eric D'Hoker and former graduate student Justin Kaidi on the publication of their book, "Modular Forms and String Theory," by Cambridge University Press.
