Research interests

Quantum field theory: time evolution, AdS/CFT duals, defect and disorder operators and their effective field theory descriptions

A popular science account featuring my work can be found in Quanta Magazine under this link.

Teaching

I am lecturing A11: Quantum Theory and B7.2 Electromagnetism in the 2024/25 academic year.

Further details

If you are interested in becoming my PhD student, please apply here. You do not need to contact me separately and doing so will not increase your chances of being accepted.

If you are an Oxford undergraduate student interested in a summer research project, please contact me. I do not have the capacity to offer research projects to students studying at other institutions.
