Research Statement
Much of my research has been devoted to studying the AdS/CFT Correspondence and more generally gauge/gravity dualities. I would like to find a way of understanding strongly interacting field theories, for example QCD at low energy or certain condensed matter systems, using string theory. I am an assistant professor in the high energy theory group at Princeton University. I was a postdoc at the University of Washington in Seattle and before that at the KITP in Santa Barbara. I received my Ph.D from Princeton in 2002, where my advisor was Igor Klebanov.
