I am the Principal Investigator of the FWF project "Higher Spin Holography in Curved Spaces"
at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, TU Wien, where I work closely with other members of the Fundamental Interactions group.
Previously, I was a postdoc in Daniel Grumiller's Black Hole
group at the same institute. I recieved my PhD from UCSB, where my advisor was
Steve Giddings. Prior to that, I earned a B.A. with honors at
UC Berkeley in Physics and Applied Mathematics.
Research interests:
- String Theory as a theory of Quantum Gravity
- Black Hole Evaporation, Unitarity, and (Non-)Locality
- Holography and AdS/CFT
- Holography beyond AdS/CFT
- Higher Spin Theories
