Sridip Pal

Sridip Pal is a Sherman Fairchild Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in Theoretical Physics, focusing on foundational questions in quantum field theory, conformal field theory, and holography. His research explores the interplay between mathematical structures and physical phenomena, with particular emphasis on entanglement entropy, spectral properties of quantum systems, and the application of modular bootstrap techniques.

Key research areas include universality in entropy calculations, spectral bounds in hyperbolic manifolds, symmetry defects in boundary CFTs, and the interplay between holography and Weyl anomalies in string theory. Recent work addresses the fine-grained asymptotics of quantum field theories, automorphic spectra in bootstrap frameworks, and the behavior of wormholes under quantum deformations.

Published articles span topics from thermal QFT fractals to nonrelativistic CFTs at large charge, reflecting a broad engagement with high-energy physics and mathematical physics. His studies often utilize advanced analytic methods such as Tauberian theory, Beurling-Selberg extremization, and geometric analysis to derive universal results in quantum systems.
