Statement of Interest:


  I study holographic models of field theories.  Currently, I've been investigating models relevant for non-relativistic physics, with an emphasis on the Lifshitz spacetimes.  

I have also been studying minimal surfaces in AdS, and their connection to integrable systems.  These minimal surfaces have an array of holgraphic applications: they describe Wilson loops, high spin operators, and scattering amplitudes.
