Sebastian Mizera is a theoretical physicist studying quantum field theory and gravitational physics. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University and an affiliate at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science and the Institute for Advanced Study. His research aims to understand the nature of interactions between fundamental objects, ranging from elementary particles to black holes. He is particularly interested in how physical principles, such as causality, locality and unitarity, are encoded in the analytic structure of asymptotic observables in quantum field theory.
Wolfram Language is the bedrock of symbolic computations in the field of theoretical high-energy physics. Mizera employs it in his daily research on quantum field theory, but also in higher education. Recently, he incorporated Wolfram Language in the graduate course Physics of the Analytic S-Matrix given at the Higgs Centre School of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh. The software was used to illustrate complex concepts behind scattering theory on hands-on examples.
