Markus Amano

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical physics focusing on holography and strongly coupled quantum systems. My research spans multiple areas including relativistic hydrodynamics, gauge/gravity duality (AdS/CFT correspondence), and topological field theories. I previously worked at the University of Alabama with Martin Kaminski and collaborators studying rotating quantum systems using holographic methods. My current work focuses on understanding strongly interacting quantum matter through the lens of holography. I'm particularly interested in how rotation and vorticity affect quantum systems, explored through both analytical and numerical approaches. Some of my recent projects include studying global vortices in holographic settings, investigating chaos in rotating plasmas, and analyzing the convergence properties of hydrodynamics in strongly coupled systems.

I'm passionate about bridging the gap between abstract theoretical frameworks and physical phenomena. My research has contributed to our understanding of how quantum systems behave under extreme conditions, particularly in scenarios relevant to heavy-ion collisions and strongly correlated materials. I collaborate with researchers across multiple institutions to tackle these complex problems from different angles.
