Research
Andy is a member of the High Energy Physics group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. His research is focused on applications of gauge-gravity duality, also known as holography or the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence, to the study of systems involving strongly-interacting degrees of freedom. Examples of such systems are the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy ion collisions and high-temperature cuprate superconductors.
