Current Projects

Brane Embeddings in Finite-Temp QCD
The embedding of D7 branes in a AdS-Schwarzchild background for different temperatures as a function of energy. In this case, a warped black hole breaks the SO(6) symmetry explicitly, producing either a first or second order quark phase transition.
Monte-Carlo simulation for surface dice clustering
Monte Carlo simulation arranging n level-2 Likert scores amongst (N-n) level-1 scores, where the red dashed line indicates the observed clustering from our dataset according to the surface dice metric.
