Eric Zaslow is an Americanmathematical physicist atNorthwestern University.
Zaslow attendedHarvard University, earning his Ph.D. in physics in 1995,[1]with thesis "Kinks, twists, and folds : exploring the geometric musculature of quantum field theory" written under the direction ofCumrun Vafa.[2] His research focuses on mathematical questions arising fromduality symmetries intheoretical physics such asmirror symmetry. WithAndrew Strominger andShing-Tung Yau, he formulated theSYZ conjecture.[3]
He was named to the 2021 class of fellows of theAmerican Mathematical Society "for contributions to mathematical physics and mirror symmetry".[4]
Zaslow is also known for being internationally ranked inultimate, with seven world or national championships[1] and has written limericks about physics competitively.[5]
