Feiyu DengTheoretical Physicist

I study quantum gravity and holography, with a focus on how geometry encodes information in systems with black holes, boundaries and defects.

My work combines geometric reasoning, analytic field theory, numerical methods and AI-native research workflows.

Three connected research surfaces

The common question is how geometric structure makes quantum information precise when boundaries, defects or gravitational sectors are present.

Geometry and quantum information abstract diagram

Geometry and quantum information

I study how entanglement and gravitational regions are represented by extremal geometric structures, especially in black-hole and brane-world settings.

Boundaries, defects and interfaces

I examine how boundaries and defects change holographic geometry, field-theory observables, and effective lower-dimensional gravitational descriptions.

Computational field theory abstract diagram

Computational field theory

I develop analytic and numerical checks for entanglement and interface problems, using lattice and Gaussian methods where they sharpen the continuum question.

AI as inspectable research infrastructure

Alongside theoretical physics, I develop AI-assisted systems for literature analysis, symbolic derivation, numerical verification and manuscript auditing. Scientific judgment stays in the loop.

05 / Profile

Physics first. Tools where they sharpen the physics.

I am a theoretical physicist working on holography, black-hole information and quantum gravity. My research often focuses on situations in which boundaries, defects or lower-dimensional gravitational sectors modify the relation between geometry and quantum information. I also build research systems that connect physical intuition, analytic derivation, numerical checks, literature and manuscript development.
