I am interested in understanding the workings of the Holographic Principle in terms of the gauge/gravity duality. The main focus of my recent research has been the attempt at a formulation of holography for flat spacetimes, away from its usual setting in Anti de Sitter spacetimes. I also work on understanding non-relativistic conformal systems and various singular limits of string theory, like the tensionless limit that offers a window into the behaviour of strings at ultra high energies.
