From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeffrey A. Harvey (born February 15, 1955, in
San Antonio, Texas) is an American
string theorist at the
University of Chicago.
Scientific contributions
Among Harvey's many contributions to the field of
theoretical physics, he is one of the co-discoverers of the
heterotic string, along with
David Gross,
Emil Martinec, and
Ryan Rohm.
[1] The four physicists were colloquially known as the "Princeton string quartet".

Harvey is a fellow of the
American Physical Society and of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
[3] He is a trustee at the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
He received the
Dirac Medal in 2023.
