Research Interest
High Energy Theory, Quantum Fields and Gravity:
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics at Arizona State University, working in high-energy theory with a focus on quantum gravity and holography. More specifically, I am interested in perturbative approaches to quantum gravity, fluid/gravity correspondence, and the connection between spacetime and quantum entanglement via holography. By employing diverse approaches, I would like to address fundamental problems in gravity, such as understanding how macroscopic observables in gravity emerge from microscopic quantum fluctuations.
