Ken-ji Hamada is an Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Japan, having received his PhD in Physics from Hiroshima University in 1989. As a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow, he mainly studied string theory, including conducting research on two-dimensional conformal field theory and two-dimensional quantum gravity. He then proposed a new approach to renormalizable quantum gravity based on conformal field theory.
