Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics PSI START

• In Summer 2022, I participated in the PSI START undergraduate in person research program
• My primary project focused on the study of asymptotically safe gravity, a theory of quantum gravity that postulates the existence of a non-trivial fixed point in a gravitational renormalization group flow. In particular, the model of interest was that of a homogenous isotropically expanding universe.
• My secondary project consisted of work in causal dynamical triangulation

Emory University

• In Summer 2023, I worked on a project supervised by Prof. Wladimir Benalcazar
• I studied various models (Kitaev chain model, SSH) in which topological phases emerged in particular limits
• My work culiminated in the creation of a review document, which can be found in the "Projects" section
