Research

I am a theoretical physicist broadly interested in high-energy physics, quantum field theory, string theory, and related fields. My research focuses on various aspects of non-equilibrium effective field theories for many-body systems at finite temperature, and connections to gravity within the context of holographic dualities and string theory.
