Scientific Interests:

Quantum Field Theory, String Theory

AdS/CFT Duality and its generalizations (known as gauge/gravity dualities), in particular,

• Applications towards condensed matter physics, QCD and Quark-Gluon Plasma
• Implications of the AdS/CFT Duality for Quantum Gravity and String Theory
