Ayan Mukhopadhyay

Associate Professor

HSB 248B

Ph.D. HRI Allahabad

Areas of Interest

  • Quantum Field Theory and String Theory
  • Black holes and other topics in classical and quantum gravity
  • Quantum Many-Body Systems

Current Research

I work on various fundamental questions at the interface of quantum field theory, classical and quantum gravity, and quantum information theory. I am also very interested in applications to quantum many-body physics and quantum computation.
