I am an assistant professor of theoretical physics at Purdue University. I am interested in quantum field theory (QFT), quantum gravity, black hole physics, and quantum information theory.

Appointments

Education

Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, McGill University, 2006-2012

B.Sc. Physics, Sharif University of Technology, 2003-2006

The current focus of my research is the operator algebras of quantum gravity and quantum field theory. I spend a lot of time thinking about formalizing a theory of local S-matrices, and a physical theory of multipartite entanglement.

In the past, I have worked on

  1. Formulating renormalization group as an approximate quantum error correction in QFT and gravity.
  2. Generalization of the theory of channels and quantum error correction to QFT and gravity.
  3. Eigenstate Thermalization hypothesis in QFT
  4. The emergence of Einstein’s equations in holography
  5. Fast scrambling and black holes
  6. Partition functions of Quantum gravity in three-dimensions
