Applications of gauge theory/gravity duality

我的研究目标是努力在最基本的层面上理解自然规律。我想了解解释为什么我们观察粒子和力的物理学，管理早期宇宙并导致我们观察到的宇宙学的物理学，以及黑洞和其他需要量子引力理论的情况的物理学。为此，我的研究集中在弦理论上，我相信它是对量子引力的一致描述和对自然界中所有粒子和力的统一理解的最佳候选者。我希望我的研究也将导致更好地理解量子场论，它准确地描述了自然界的强，弱和电磁力。

The goal of my research is to work towards an understanding of the laws of nature at their most fundamental level. I would like to understand the physics that explains why we observe the particles and forces that we do, the physics that governed the very early universe and led to the cosmology we observe, and the physics of black holes and other situations that demand a quantum theory of gravity. To these ends, my research has focused on string theory, which I believe is the best candidate for a consistent description of quantum gravity and a unified understanding of all particles and forces in nature. I hope that my research will also lead to a better understanding of quantum field theories, which accurately describe the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces of nature.
