About Me
I'm a postgraduate student at the University of Durham, studying for a PhD within the Centre for Particle Theory. My supervisors are Professors Mohamed Anber and Iñaki García-Etxebarria.
My publications are listed on my INSPIRE page. See also my university page. My full CV can be found here.
I completed my MSc in Particles, Strings and Cosmology and my undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences (Mathematics and Computer Science) also at the University of Durham.
My MSc Thesis was titled 'Generalised Symmetry and Geometric Engineering', supervised by Professor Iñaki García-Etxebarria. My undergraduate thesis was titled 'Special Holonomy Manifolds in String Theory and M-Theory Reductions', supervised by Professors A.P. Braun and A. Donos.
Research Interests
- Generalised Symmetry in Quantum Field Theories
- Geometric Engineering of Quantum Field Theories from String Theory and M-Theory
- Formal and Mathematical Aspects of Quantum Field Theories, String Theory and M-Theory
Experience
- 2023 Future Mathematicican International Summer Camp held at USTC in Hefei, China, funded
by a USTC Fellowship. I gave a talk on Calabi-Yau manifolds, targeted at an undergraduate level.
- 2022 Summer Project at Durham University on Cohomology of Calabi-Yau Manifolds, supervised by Professor A.P. Braun.
- 2021 Quantum Technologies Summer School at University College, London (UCL).
