My research is related to the study of supersymmetric gauge theories as non-perturbative formulations of superstring/M-theory via the gauge/gravity duality. I am interested in numerical studies of the maximally supersymmetric gauge theory using Monte Carlo simulations to predict results from the supergravity (SUGRA) side. This is a possible check of the AdS/CFT conjecture. This conjecture relates N=4 SYM in four dimensions and Type IIB string theory on AdS5 x S5. However, even when the field theory is non-conformal (in space-time dimensions not equal to four), there is still some region in the coupling space where the conjecture holds. I am also interested in exploring thermal phase structures of multi-matrix models (such as BMN). In recent years, I have started working on tensor networks methods to study lower-dimensional gauge theories such as SU(2) gauge-Higgs models and spin models exhibiting continuous or discrete symmetries such as 2d O(2)/XY, Ising model in a magnetic field, and interesting models with sign problems which are not tractable by Monte Carlo methods. I am interested and currently involved (in collaboration) in the computation of the glueball spectrum and hadron masses from the first-principle matrix model description of QCD.
