Ross Dempsey

I am a final-year graduate student at Princeton, advised by Silviu Pufu. I am an incoming Pappalardo Fellow at MIT, in the Center for Theoretical Physics.

I study the physics of quantum field theories. The goal is to understand behaviors like the confinement of quarks in quantum chromodynamics using non-perturbative methods. I primarily work on applying Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory to low-dimensional gauge theories, and applying the conformal bootstrap to superconformal field theories. See my publications for more details.

I am also involved in outreach efforts at Princeton and with the National Science Bowl.

You might be looking for:

• My tool for drawing Feynman diagrams and generating tikz-feynman code
• Undergraduate Physics in a Hurry, a rapid review of undergraduate physics with 100+ solved problems from Princeton’s preliminary exam in physics. I am in the process of turning this into a book with Princeton Press, co-authored with Andy Leifer. When that is complete, the draft version will no longer be available here.
