Fields of Specialisation: Theoretical Physics Research Interest My research focuses on the AdS/CFT duality. More specifically, I focus on investigating the underlying mechanisms of the duality through use of collective field theory. Another branch of my research studies more mathematical aspects of the duality by studying mathematical structures of the underlying gauge group. Through Schur-Weyl duality, these questions translate into structural questions concerning the symmetric group and symmetric group algebras.
