Research Areas

  • Quantum field theory
  • Gravity
  • String Theory
  • Relativistic hydrodynamics
  • Quantum entanglement in QFTs

I am interested in diverse topics in QFT, gravitation and string theory. One of the outstanding implications of string theory is the gauge-gravity duality (or the AdS/CFT correspondence). Exploring various aspects of this framework, with emphasis on practical application, has been one of the basic themes of my research. Related to this context, I have explored topics such as relativistic hydrodynamics and quantum entanglement, in which I have also developed a keen interest.
