Research
I'm interested in physics related to string theory, quantum gravity, holography. A recurring theme in my research is thermality and various notions of entropy. Here are some buzzwords that describe what I am currently thinking about:
◊ Bulk emergence from entanglement
◊ Out-of-time-order correlators, scrambling, chaos
◊ Non-equilibrium physics (hydrodynamics, black holes)
◊ Conformal field theory
