Ethan Carragher

I am a DPhil student in the Particle Theory group working under the supervision of John March-Russell and Prateek Agrawal. Before starting my DPhil in 2022, I worked on Beyond the Standard Model phenomenology at the University of Adelaide. My current research explores the rich interplay between field theory, gravity, and topology, from the effective string model of QCD to monopole-fermion scattering and gauge dynamics in wormhole spacetimes. I am broadly motivated by the question of how these extreme or exotic systems illuminate the principles underlying our universe.
