My research focuses on foundational questions in quantum gravity and quantum field theory. In particular, I study how spacetime and gravity emerge from quantum entanglement and the encoding of quantum information, especially through holographic duality between gravitational theories and quantum field theories. I also explore related questions in black hole physics, cosmology, and particle physics.

Research

I work at the intersection of gravity, quantum field theory, and quantum information, with a particular interest in the emergence of spacetime and the quantum structure of black holes.
