Diego Liska

I completed my PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 2024. I currently hold a joint postdoctoral position at the University of Geneva and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). My research explores the connections between chaos, thermalization, and gravity, with a particular focus on the random structure of conformal field theories and its implications for quantum gravity in Anti-de Sitter and de Sitter spacetimes.
