Research Interests:
I am interested in mathematical structure hidden behind dynamics of M5-branes. Although the world-volume theory on M5-branes remains mysterious, it generates huge classes of quantum field theories in various dimensions. I would like to understand intriguing connections of supersymmetric gauge theories, topological quantum field theories, mathematical physics and string theory via dynamics of M5-branes.
