Juan Maldacena
Juan Maldacena is a theoretical physicist born in Argentina. He has been a professor at Harvard University and now he is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Among his many discoveries, the most famous one is the most reliable realization of the holographic principle - namely the AdS/CFT correspondence, the successfully tested conjecture about the equivalence of string theory or supergravity on Anti de Sitter space, and a conformal field theory defined on the boundary of the AdS space.
