Black holes in the gravity/gauge theory correspondence [PDF]
, 2002 The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a microscopic description of black hole thermodynamics. In this thesis, I study the relation between the classical physics of black holes and this microscopic description.

Janus Photonic Graphics by Stratified Assembly of Two Distinct Colloids
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Double‐sided Janus photonic micropatterns with vivid structural colors are fabricated through a single‐step bottom‐up strategy. Density‐driven stratification and depletion‐mediated crystallization of PMMA and PS binary colloids lead to exclusive lattices on opposite surfaces under centrifugal force.

Aspects of supersymmetry in multiple membrane theories
, 2011 PhDThis thesis consists of two parts. In the rst part we investigate the worldvolume supersymmetry algebra of multiple membrane theories. We begin with a description of M-theory branes and their intersections from the perspective of spacetime and ...

Bosonic construction of superstring theory and related topics [PDF]
, 2002 This thesis splits into two parts. In the first part we introduce a bosonic construction of the ten-dimensional fermionic theories. This construction relies on a consistent truncation procedure which can produce fermions out of bosons. We illustrate this

Twin Crystal Moiré Metasurfaces for Crossing Flat‐Band Transport
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces twin crystal moiré metasurfaces, breaking in‐plane symmetry to enable reconfigurable acoustic wave manipulation. By adjusting the twin angle and interlayer twist angle, various combinations of hyperbolic, flat bands, and elliptic states can be synthesized in the system.

On perturbative scattering amplitudes in maximally supersymmetric theories
, 2011 PhDThere has been substantial calculational progress in the last few years in maximally supersymmetric theories, revealing unexpected simplicity, new structures and symmetries. In this thesis, after reviewing some of the recent advances in N = 4 super

Gauge/Gravity Duality: Recovering the Bulk from the Boundary using AdS/CFT [PDF]
, 2010 Motivated by the holographic principle, within the context of the AdS/CFT Correspondence in the large t'Hooft limit, we investigate how the geometry of certain highly symmetric bulk spacetimes can be recovered given information of physical quantities in ...

On non-linear chiral 4-form theories in D = 10
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe consider properties of non-linear theories of a chiral 4-form gauge field A 4 in ten space-time dimensions with an emphasis on a subclass of these theories which are invariant under the D = 10 conformal symmetry. We show that general results regarding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a programmable atomic engineering strategy for 2D materials using Å‐scale nanoreactors formed by bilayer graphene (BLG) intercalation. A new class of alkali‐iron‐chloride compounds, along with lateral heterostructures composed of monolayer alkali halides and iron chlorides, is revealed.

Higher spin fields and duality
, 2005 We review the construction of free gauge theories for gauge fields in arbitrary representations of the Lorentz group in D dimensions. We describe the multi-form calculus which gives the natural geometric framework for these theories.
