Here are some of the things that have been on my mind lately:
Relativistic hydrodynamics: hydrodynamic description of quark-gluon plasma, critical and non-critical fluctuations, signatures of QCD phase transition and the QCD critical point,
Lattice field theory and the sign problem: Monte-Carlo computations of finite density and real time systems, developing new tools to solve the sign problem that prevents first-principle, Monte-Carlo computations of finite density and real time (as opposed to Euclidean) systems. In particular finding alternative formulations of the path integral with complexified fields where the sign-problem is alleviated.
Aspects of the theory of resurgence (an exponentially exact analysis of asymptotic series) in quantum field theory, string theory and quantum mechanics, exact WKB, and quantum geometry,
Manifestations of anomalies in transport properties of strongly coupled systems, such as quark gluon plasma or condensed matter systems like Weyl semi metals, Confining gauge theories in the large N limit
A selected list of publications on these topics, along with links to my complete publication list can be found in the publications section. Also see the talks section for the slides of talks I have given.
