Anton Nikolayevich Kapustin (born November 10, 1971, Moscow) is a Russian-American theoretical physicist and the Earle C. Anthony Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology. His interests lie in quantum field theory and string theory, and their applications to particle physics and condensed matter theory. He is the son of the pianist-composer Nikolai Kapustin.[1]
Kapustin obtained a B.S. in physics from Moscow State University in 1993.[citation needed] He received a Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1997 with John Preskill as his advisor.[2]
