Among Harvey's many contributions to the field of theoretical physics, he is one of the co-discoverers of the heterotic string.
Harvey is a fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a trustee at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
