About me: I'm interested in various aspects of symmetry and topology in non-perturbative quantum field theory, particularly collective phenomena where the quantum nature of the underlying microscopic can be observed in the macroscopic transport properties. These includes 't Hooft anomaly and more intricate non-group symmetry structures found in various systems ranging from quantum critical point in low-energy physics, quark-gluon plasma in the particle accelerator, high-energy astrophysical plasma and black hole in Anti-de Sitter space via the AdS/CFT correspondence.
