Research Quest
I am interested in understanding fundamental laws of nature. The standard model of particle physics explains strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions very well, but does not include the force due to gravity. String theory is a promising candidate to unify all fundamental forces of nature. It provides a framework for developing a better understanding of quantum gravity, and the study of black holes serves as a litmus test of quantum gravity. I have been pursuing this interest by studying black holes and related phenomena, such as quantum chaos and the complexity within the context of string theory. In addition to this, I am interested in non-perturbative methods, like Exact WKB and Resurgence, and integrable systems.
