My broad research interest is exploring quantum gravity in curved and flat spacetimes through the eyes of the holographic principle.
My recent research interests are:Â
1. AdS/CFT correspondence and its application.Â
2. Flat limit of AdS/CFT correspondence and its application.
3. Boundary Conformal Field Theory and its ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic limits.Â
4. Singular limits of string theory
