Profile
I am a postgraduate researcher in the theoretical physics research group at the University of Leeds.
Research interests
The research that I am undertaking focuses on effective geometric and gravitational descriptions of the continuum limits of lattice field theories. I am particularly interested in investigating the lattice field theories of chiral spin chains, which, in their continuum limit, describe Dirac fermions in the space-time geometry of a black hole, and the thermodynamic properties of the continuum limit of these theories, such as their Hawking temperature and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, and their correspondence in the lattice field theories. More broadly, my research interests include the fields of general relativity, black hole thermodynamics, quantum field theories, and quantum information.
