About me
My name is Sanjit Shashi. I am a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California's Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP).
I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a bachelor's in math and completed my PhD in physics in 2023 at the University of Texas at Austin.
I am currently transitioning towards machine learning.

Most of my physics work concerns holographic duality or "holography," a mathematical equivalence between theories of quantum gravity and theories describing quantum phenomena with no gravity. Duality is nothing new to physics, with perhaps the most well-known example being the equivalent treatments of light as either a particle or a wave. Gravity is no different, and (in my view) holographic duality is no less profound.
