Quantum Field Theory, Holography, Conformal Field Theory, Bootstrap

Interests

My research focuses on holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence to understand the
dynamics of strongly coupled quantum field theories and their gravitational duals. I am particularly
interested in conformal field theory (CFT) techniques, including the analytic conformal bootstrap, as a
non-perturbative approach to constrain and solve CFTs. My work aims to find new insights from both the
bulk and boundary perspectives to test and refine predictions from holography.
