Current Research

1. Lower dimensional Models of gravity and their dual description in terms of Matrix Models
2. Holographic Models for Cosmology
3. Quantum aspects of Black Holes
4. Holographic description of geometries with non-trivial topology

My research is mainly focused on understanding the microstructure of spacetime, primarily using String Theory, Matrix Models and Holography. I am especially interested in finding a holographic description for cosmological spacetimes as well as for geometries with non-trivial topology. Moreover, I am interested in understanding the microstructure of black holes and how gravity encodes information.
