About me
Hello!! I am Krishnanand. I am a PhD student at the Virginia Tech, USA. I completed my undergraduate studies in a BS-MS dual degree program in Physics and pure Mathematics from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM). Currently, I am working with Dr. Charles Cao in Holographic codes, quantum gravity and AdS-CFT. I am particularly interested in high energy physics, focusing on the interplay between geometry and physics.
