Research Interests
My work focuses on making two frontier areas of theoretical physics accessible to learners at the undergraduate and early graduate levels:
- Loop Quantum Gravity - I develop pedagogical bridges to this non-perturbative approach to quantum gravity, breaking down its core concepts—such as Ashtekar variables, spin networks and volume discreteness—into clear, step-by-step pathways for students new to the field.
- Gauge/Gravity Duality - I create educational frameworks that translate this powerful holographic correspondence into intuitive, accessible language, helping students move from foundational principles to current research without the usual steep learning curve.
