Interests

My research addresses fundamental questions about black holes and quantum gravity using tools from holography, geometry, and quantum field theory. I focus on the microscopic origins of black hole entropy and on identifying the basic quantum building blocks of spacetime. This work is framed within the anti de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence, which provides the only non-perturbative definition of quantum gravity in asymptotically AdS spacetimes. The conformal field theories that arise in this context are strongly coupled, placing them beyond the reach of traditional methods such as perturbation theory or lattice approaches effective in simpler models. In supersymmetric theories, however, the principle of localization reduces the infinite-dimensional path integral to a finite-dimensional matrix model. This makes it possible to obtain exact results in regimes inaccessible to conventional techniques and to derive precise predictions for quantum gravity through holography. More recently, I have begun applying machine learning methods to matrix models, adding a new computational dimension to my research programme.
