Henriette Elvang is a theoretical physicist with research interest in particle physics, quantum field theory, general relativity, and string theory. She did her undergraduate degree at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen and her PhD in Physics at UC Santa Barbara. She was a Pappalardo Fellow at MIT from 2005-08 and a postdoctoral member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton 2008-09 (and visiting again a year in 2010). In 2009, she became faculty at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where she is now an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Physics. Elvang is the co-author (with Yu-tin Huang) of a graduate textbook on modern methods for computing scattering amplitudes. She was honored with the Maria Goeppert Mayer Award from the American Physical Society (APS) in 2016, and she became APS Fellow in 2018 and AAAS Fellow in 2021.
