About me
I am a 4th year PhD student in theoretical physics. I am interested in integrability, enumerative geometry and duality in supersymmetric quantum field theory.
Supervised by Prof. Nick Dorey
Short CV
Research Interests
My research lies on the interface of geometry and quantum field theory. I am mainly interested in the following:
- Supersymmetric indices and connections to algebraic/geometric structures.
- Exact results in 3d N=4 theories and 3d mirror symmetry.
- Integrability in supersymmetric QFT.
- Resurgence and enumerative geometry.
