Brief CV

Research Interests

My research interests include supergravity, quantum field theory, and AdS/CFT. Specifically, I am working with Prof. Olaf Hohm on different reformulations of these theories with the aim of gain new insights on the topic and access data that traditional techniques cannot provide. I'm using E6 exceptional field theory techniques to describe the Kaluza Klein spectrum resulting from the compactification of type IIB or M theory around ten- or eleven-dimensional backgrounds. Encoding the gauge structure and the possible interactions of the theory into an L algebra yields the spectrum and higher couplings while avoiding certain complications. This method also provides access to the holographic dual theory via homotopy transfer.
