Johannes Walcher
As a Mathematical Physicist, I am interested in understanding both how the world works, and what this means in abstract terms. I am currently Professor at Heidelberg University, work at the Institute for Mathematics, teach at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, and also supervise students from the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Current Teaching
In the Winter term 2023/24, I am teaching an introduction to string theory aimed at first year graduate students and am also contributing to the coordination of a seminar on advanced topics in strings and holography.
Please note: I will very likely not offer a String Theory 2 in the coming Summer term.
