Daniel Baig

I am a PhD student at the University of Southampton within the String Theory and Holography Group in the Southampton Theory Astrophysics and Gravity (STAG) research centre. I completed my undergraduate studies at University College London in theoretical physics and then went on to do Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge.

I am interested in many aspects of theoretical physics and enjoy using simulations to understand the mathematics underlying various physical phenomena. I have done research on a variety of interesting projects from biophysics in The Francis Crick Institute to astrophysics at the University of Oxford. Nowadays I am mainly interested in gauge/gravity duality and black holes; however, I am always open to exploring other areas of physics.
