Research
PhD
In my PhD I studied conformal field theories. These are a special class of quantum field theories that arise in the study of phase transitions, string theory and particle physics. My dissertation, titled N=6 Superconformal Field Theories, and studies conformal field theories in three spacetime dimensions with extended supersymmetry. You can read it here. My advisor was Silviu Pufu, who is a member of the bootstrap collaboration.

Undergraduate
As an undergraduate, I studied at the Australian National University. For my honour year I worked with Cedric Simenel, a nuclear theorist specializing in nuclear dynamics.
