Dmitry Podolsky has got his PhD from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics. He currently works as postdoc at Case Western Reserve University. He is also one of the editors of NEQNET.
Here are some links on excellent lectures on AdS/CFT by Juan Maldacena which I found on Google Video (quality is fascinating):
Lecture 1: Large N expansion (he starts with O(N) sigma model, large N matrix models and ends discussing Polyakov’s action; the lecture contains everything you need to know about condensation of Lagrangian multipliers – exactly the staff I am currently working on, dear Juan, thanks for the inspiration 
)
Lecture 2: Liouville mode and AdS background; why string theory on AdS (cross sphere) background is equivalent to N=4 SYM
and the Lecture 3 where he wants to go beyond conformal N=4 and discuss SYM theories with confinement

who has the video of TASI 2007
where is the lecture on the web?
I mean, How to download them by software”thunder”?
I could watch the lecture on my ie.
Thank you very much!
Hi SL,
I have no idea. Presumably you can try and find some Youtube downloader (lectures are on youtube) and use it to download lectures.
Cheers,
Dmitry.
