Research interests

My research interests lie in the field of theoretical and mathematical physics.

In particular, as a PhD student I have worked on the issues related with the extension of the AdS/CFT correspondence to the so-called asymptotically flat spacetimes, especially in spacetime dimensions higher than four. This addresses the broader question of the realizations of the Holographic Principle beyond spacetimes with negative cosmological constant (such as AdS).

I am currently exploring this topic as well as other aspects of AdS/CFT such as quantum chaos and black holes.
