Rehmat Singh Chawla

Welcome!

I’m Rehmat, wannabe Physicist, coffee addict lover, and amateur wordsmith.
I’ve just begun my PhD in theoretical Physics with Professors Latham Boyle and Neil Turok at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry, and Quantum Mechanics and the University of Edinburgh.

Previously, I did a Masters at Imperial College London and an undergraduate in Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay. I’ll be putting up more details of what I worked on sometime soon, so please check back!

My masters thesis was on Higher-Form Electromagnetism and Generalised Symmetries, but I am broadly interested in Theoretical Fundamental Physics and Mathematical Physics. Some topics I would mention are symmetries and anomalies, resurgence, and RG flows. I’m also interested in discrete quantum geometries as approaches to quantum gravity, quantum information in holography, and asymptotic symmetries of spacetimes. I especially enjoy finding connections between different topics, and adapting mathematical and computational techniques across them.

When not buried in Physics or code, you might find me reading, writing poetry, or brewing coffee. Explore this website for a taste of my life and work!
