🚀 My first conference paper is out!
arxiv.org/abs/2509.00628
Based on my GR24 talk, it summarises 2 years of work with my supervisor Aron Wall on generalised focusing theorems & horizon thermodynamics in diffeo-invariant gravity. A short thread 👇(1/8)

I hope I can grow a better vision for theoretical physics in the new year… I always feel I’m so naïve…

It was fun to explore the intricacies of higher-spin fields from the perspectives of gravitational focusing and horizon thermodynamics. There are so many open questions to address in the future…

Wow this is super useful!

Hi! I’m new here! Glad to chat about black holes and quantum gravity or anything about physics and mathematics!
