      Graduate Researcher

      Research in theoretical physics:• Solved the mathematical structure of 11D superfields and supergravity, by creating a systematic algorithm based on algebra, combinatorics and graphs• Extended the simplest model of holography with maximal supersymmetry• Proposed a new definition of cluster super-algebras, which tremendously simplifies the computations of super-amplitudes by enabling geometric interpretations• Published 12 peer-reviewed papers in collaboration with 14 researchers• Presented research findings at 20 international conferences and seminarsTeaching and mentoring:• Delivered lectures on Lie algebras, differential geometry and supersymmetry to over 40 students in summer• Supervised 29 master and undergraduate students across 7 different research projects, contributing to several published papers Show less
