He is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, United States of America.
His contributions to mathematical physics include:
Mathematical foundations of rational 2-dimensional CFTs (with G Moore). Discovery of some of the first examples of "Seiberg Duals", numerous and ever growing disparate theories that are dynamically equivalent to another at low energy
papers from the early 1990s about the application of holomorphy to calculations in gauge theories with supersymmetry, including a solution of North=1 four-dimensional gauge theories such as SQCD. He later used renormalization group methods to obtain a 3d Seiberg dual for his 4D SQCD
articles about the strong-weak duality (South-duality) in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories
papers about the complete solution of North=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four and three dimensions
a paper on Matrix theory and M theory in the discrete Light-Cone Quantization
his and Edward Witten"s analysis of the appearance of non-commutative geometry in theories containing open strings, and an identification of a low energy limit of open string dynamics as a noncommutative quantum field theory
Member of the Order of Merit-theory (with Andrew Strominger and Shiraz Minwalla).
