Research Interests

From July 31 2017 to July 31 2018 I have worked on three general topics:
the study of mathematical properties and applications of
supersymmetric or topological quantum field theories in various dimensions,
the formulation of topologically twisted examples of holography
and new computational approaches to study strongly interacting three-dimensional
quantum field theories.
