Vyacheslav Rychkov (called Slava Rychkov, Russian Вячеслав Рычков, transcription Vyacheslav Rychkov; born 27 May 1975 in Samara, Russia {{Cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxzbGF2YXJ5Y2hrb3Z8Z3g6M2YyN2RhOGIxMTQ1YmI2OA|title=CVlong-Rychkov-2020.pdf|website=docs.google.com}}) is a Russian-Italian-French theoretical physicist and mathematician.
Career
In 1996, Rychkov obtained his diploma (B.S., M.S.) from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. From 1996 to 1998 he studied at the University of Jena.{{Cite web|url=https://cms.rz.uni-jena.de/matia2/Mitglieder/Ehemalige.html|title=Ehemalige Mitglieder (seit 1995)|website=cms.rz.uni-jena.de}} He received his doctorate in mathematics from Princeton University, under the supervision of Elias Stein, in 2002{{Cite web|url=https://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=58619|title=Vyacheslav Rychkov - The Mathematics Genealogy Project|website=genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu}} with a thesis titled "Estimates for Oscillatory Integral Operators".{{Cite arXiv|title = Vyacheslav Rychkov, "Estimates for Oscillatory Integral Operators", Princeton University PhD Thesis, math/0204269|eprint = math/0204269|last1 = Rychkov|first1 = Vyacheslav S.|year = 2002}} Alexander Polyakov was his unofficial supervisor. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Amsterdam (2002-2005) and at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where he became assistant professor in 2007.{{Cite web|url=http://inspirehep.net/record/990861?ln=en|title=Record #990861 - INSPIRE-HEP}} In 2009 he became a professor of physics at the University of Paris VI and a member of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Since 2012 to 2017 he was a staff member of the Department of Theoretical Physics at CERN. He has been a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Professor of High Energy Physics at École Normale Supérieure in Paris since 2016 {{Cite web|url = https://www.ens.fr/espace-presse/inauguration-des-chaires-ens-mhi-25-octobre-2016|title = Inauguration des Chaires ENS –MHI - 25 octobre 2016}} and in 2017 he became a permanent professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ihes.fr/en/slava-rychkov-joins-the-institute-as-a-permanent-professor/|title = Slava Rychkov joins the Institute as a permanent professor|date = 12 December 2017}}
Research
Slava Rychkov’s research interests mostly concern problems of theoretical physics to which the methods of quantum field theory and conformal field theory are applicable. He is the deputy director of the international collaboration on the nonperturbative bootstrap{{Cite web|url=https://bootstrapcollaboration.com/members/|title = List of members of the Simons collaboration on Nonperturbative Bootstrap}} financed by the Simons Foundation.
Awards
Between 2012 and 2017 he was a Junior Member of l’Institut Universitaire de France.{{Cite web|url = http://www.iufrance.fr/les-membres-de-liuf/membre/1409-vyacheslav-rychkov.html|title = Vyacheslav Rychkov's membership in Institut Universitaire de France}}
In 2014 he received the New Horizons in Physics Prize “For developing new techniques in conformal field theory, reviving the conformal bootstrap program for constraining the spectrum of operators and the structure constants in 3D and 4D CFT’s.”{{Cite web|url=https://breakthroughprize.org/Laureates/1/L23|title=Breakthrough Prize – Fundamental Physics Breakthrough Prize Laureates – Vyacheslav Rychkov|website=breakthroughprize.org|access-date=2019-08-05}}
He was the 2019 laureate of the Grand Prix Mergier-Bourdeix of the French Academy of Sciences for his work on the conformal bootstrap.{{Cite web|url=https://www.academie-sciences.fr/fr/Laureats/prix-mergier-bourdeix-2019-slava-rychkov.html|title = Lauréat 2019 du prix Mergier-Bourdeix : Slava Rychkov}}
