Matthew J. Strassler is a theoretical physicist, science communicator, and educator known for the cascading gauge theory.
[7] In 2013 he was a visiting scholar at Harvard, and in 2015, was an associate in the Physics Department.
[10] His publication, "Supergravity and a confining gauge theory: duality cascades and χSB-resolution of naked singularities", co-written with Igor Klebanov for the Journal of High Energy Physics in 2000, developed the cascading gauge theory.
[13] Strassler's physics-oriented blog, Of Particular Significance, often includes reality-checks on mainstream media coverage of physics news.
[16] Strassler was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2007 "[f]or work extending the AdS/CFT gravity/gauge duality to QCD-like confining theories, and for insights into novel aspects of the physics of strongly coupled supersymmetric theories.
