Research Interests:
Professor Ashmore鈥檚 current research focuses on computational and machine-learning techniques for string theory and quantum field theory. This includes computing numerical 鈥淐alabi鈥揧au鈥 metrics 鈥 crucial ingredients for connecting string theory to experiment 鈥 and modelling phase transitions in strongly interacting quantum systems. He also studies the kinds of geometry that appear in string theory and supergravity using purely theoretical tools, such as differential geometry and 鈥済eneralized geometry鈥.
Before joining 黑料正能量 in Fall 2024, Prof. Ashmore held postdoctoral research fellowships at the University of Oxford, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago and Sorbonne Universit茅.
Prof. Ashmore is currently looking for undergraduates interested in computational physics to join his lab.
