I’m a graduate student at Penn. I want to apply high energy theory (String Theory / Loop Quantum Gravity / AdS-CFT / Holography / Group Field Theory) to cosmology to either give predictions or explain phenomena. I’m interested in everything about the early universe, including the different alternatives of inflation (e.g., bounce / string gas cosmology / cyclic / ekpyrosis); the preheating/reheating period after inflation; the baryogenesis process; the cosmological constant problem; primordial black holes and the probable properties of dark matter.
