My research is focused on quantum field theory and holography.

One direction concerns the string description of large-N gauge theories. Two-dimensional QCD is a natural testing ground: it is exactly solvable, and its 1/N expansion is a sum over worldsheets. In this context, I am interested in constructing its dual string theory.

Another direction concerns consistency constraints on gravitational theories. In this context, I have worked on the classical Regge growth (CRG) conjecture, which bounds the high-energy growth of gravitational S-matrices, proving it via the chaos bound and studying its constraints on graviton couplings.
