In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Niseem Abdelrahman interviews Dr. George Sterman, a leading figure in theoretical particle physics and director of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University. With a career spanning decades, Dr. Sterman shares insights from his journey through academia, including his early research at the Institute for Advanced Study and his role in shaping modern quantum field theory. Recipient of the J.J. Sakurai Prize and the Guggenheim Fellowship, Dr. Sterman discusses the evolution of particle physics, the conceptual foundations of quantum field theory, and the challenges that lie ahead. Dr. Abdelrahman also reflects on the impact of Sterman’s textbook, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory, a cornerstone for students and researchers alike. This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the theoretical underpinnings of our universe.
