Research Interests
My research interests range from quantum field theory to quantum gravity, holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence. More specifically, I study the relation between information processing in quantum mechanical systems and the way black holes process information of objects which fall inside. I am also currently interested in the study of interfaces and defects in conformal field theories.
I have recently won an ERC starting grant with a project proposing to use the tools of holography and quantum information to study quantum gravity in the expanding universe.
