Mendeleev Visitors
We are funding Russian theorists to visit us at the London Institute to collaborate and to strengthen ties with their home institutions.
Dmitry Mendeleev, founding father of the periodic table, was a regular visitor at the Royal Institution, where the London Institute is based. We created our Mendeleev Visitors programme in keeping with this tradition, and in conjunction with our fellowship programme for Russian physicists and mathematicians. The largest programme of its kind, it has been written about in The Times, Bloomberg, The Spectator and Nature.
Mendeleev Visitors are paid on a per-diem basis, and visits can last from days to weeks. Some of our Mendeleev Visitors are described below.
Vladimir Kazakov
26 Jul 2025Prof. Vladimir Kazakov works at École Normale Supérieure and is renowned for his foundational work on matrix models and integrability. He visits us for five days to collaborate on the principal chiral model and give a lecture on a new approach to correlation functions in AdS/CFT.
Konstantin Zarembo
26 Jul 2025Prof. Konstantin Zarembo is a physicist at Nordita in Stockholm and a pioneer of integrability in AdS/CFT. He visits LIMS to collaborate on a project exploring the two-dimensional principal chiral model, and to give a lecture on the Peierls transition in the Gross–Neveu model.
