Andrew Strominger
Harvard University theoretical physicist; string theorist; co-discoverer of Strominger–Yau–Zaslow conjecture
Andrew Strominger — Harvard University theoretical physicist; string theorist; co-discoverer of Strominger–Yau–Zaslow conjecture — is named in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files. DOJ-released Epstein files document two categories of connection. First, Strominger facilitated a $100,000 Epstein donation to the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai as a "TIFR String Theory Travel Fund," managed through Harvard's Physics Department; in advocating for the gift Strominger described the TIFR string theory group as having "the highest intellectual output per dollar of any such group in the world." Second, email records show that in April 2014 a meeting between Strominger and Epstein was scheduled, though it was subsequently cancelled. Harvard expanded its Epstein probe in February 2026 to include newly disclosed correspondence with several professors, specifically naming Strominger alongside Lisa Randall and George Church. No wrongdoing is alleged against him. This profile is auto-generated from public reporting and is pending editorial review; inclusion does not imply guilt or wrongdoing.
