Xenia De La Ossa
Xenia de la Ossa Osegueda (born 30 June 1958, San José, Costa Rica) is a theoretical physicist whose research focuses on mathematical structures that arise in string theory. She is a professor at University of Oxford, Oxford's Mathematical Institute. Academic career Xenia de la Ossa received her PhD from University of Texas at Austin with the dissertation ''Quantum Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Mirror Symmetry'' written under the supervision of Willy Fischler. She was at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1993 to 1995. Xenia de la Ossa is known for her contributions to mathematical physics with much of her work focusing on string theory and its interplay with algebraic geometry. In 1991, she coauthored "A pair of Calabi-Yau manifolds as an exactly soluble superconformal theory", which contained remarkable predictions about the number of rational curves on a quintic threefold. This was the first work to use Mirror symmetry (string theory), mirror symmetry in order to make enumer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
