Welcome!

Currently, I am a Research Associate  in  the Numerical Relativity Group and in the String theory group in Physics and Astronomy Department  at UBC

Whilst my background is in Numerical Relativity, most recently my research has revolved around critical phenomena in Gravity, aspects of Gauge/Gravity duality, non-equilibrium QFT. Often most interesting questions in these areas are intractable by other than numerical means. That it why I resort on computational methods to address those difficult problems on a computer, and shed light on time-dependent and/or strongly non-linear states of physical systems. My publications can be found here.

I am organizing the Gravity seminars at UBC. Here is the schedule.

Recently: my critical collapse paper has been selected for the 2010-11 Highlights by the journal of Classical and Quantum Gravity.
