Welcome to my academic homepage.

I work on AdS/CFT and its applications in string theory, field theory and quantum information theory. I also work on gravitational and black hole physics.

Here's my brief CV. Also, find my publications from Inspire-HEP and ArXiv.

Open positions

1. A new advertisement for PhD admissions will soon come up. Interested and eligible candidates are encouraged to contact me directly with their CV. I will be looking forward to hire a maximum of two students.
