Hi! This is Vai, I am a researcher in theoretical high energy physics. I mostly work on string theory, with some concerning levels of obsession with de Sitter quantum gravity. I like Cats and Dune, mostly. I also compose music, and aspire to be something of a filmmaker myself. I did machine learning as well, and I am the founder of a startup called Orientifold AI.
arXiv categories: hep-th, math-ph and math-QA.
Projects:
- de Sitter string compactifications: Primarily EFT constraints on such vacua beyond KKLT -- referred to as racetrack vacua.
- Topological field theories: Particularly at the level of quantum topology and rational CFTs.
- Functorial QFTs in general: Not much to say here.
