Simon completed his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in 2025 before joining the BHI and the Harvard University physics department as a postdoctoral research fellow. Simon works broadly on aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence. His research draws on methods from Penrose’s twistor theory, integrable theories, and topological strings, among other areas, to gain a better understanding of holographic dualities in asymptotically flat spacetimes. He is particularly interested in the role of black holes in this context.
