Scholarship and Biography

Nicholas Agia received his master's degree in physics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2016, and is currently a graduate student in high-energy theoretical physics at Harvard University. His research interests broadly cover the realms of string theory and quantum gravity, and is presently aiming to understand the Lorentzian properties of quantum black holes by analyzing solvable models of string theory in low dimensions. In addition to research, Agia is interested in pedagogical writing for many subjects in theoretical physics, and his teaching experience ranges from being involved in introductory courses in mechanics and electromagnetism aimed at new students to graduate courses in quantum field theory and string theory.
