Higher Spin Theories in Twistor Space

Using the twistor formalism, I was able to formulate an action principle for conformal higher spin theory. The action poses as generating functional to compute scattering amplitudes for this theory, which had been and still is a difficult problem since its conception.

The One-Loop Effective Action of N=4 SYM-Type Theories

I developed a Mathematica program to automate the computation of the first-order renormalization constants of many Lagrangian theories. The program computes the divergent part of the first-order quantum corrections to the effective action using the background field method and dimensional regularization.

Minimal Surfaces in Anti-de Sitter Spaces

I studied conformal transformations of minimal surfaces in AdS space that correspond to gluon scattering amplitudes via the AdS/CFT correspondence.
