Akash Jain

Akash Jain is a Research Fellow in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford. His research interests lie at the intersection of high-energy physics, quantum field theory, and string theory. He investigates how symmetry principles, effective field theories, and hydrodynamics can elucidate the behavior of many-body systems far from equilibrium, with a focus on connections to gravity through holographic dualities. Jain has contributed to recent publications on topics such as hydrodynamics of thermal active matter, resistive relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, and higher-group global symmetry. His work also explores non-equilibrium phenomena using Schwinger–Keldysh effective field theories and generalized symmetries.

Akash Jain is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Amsterdam, specializing in Hydrodynamics, String Theory, and High Energy Physics. His research explores the interplay between hydrodynamics and holography, focusing on topics such as dyonic black holes, viscoelastic hydrodynamics, and magnetohydrodynamics as superfluidity. He investigates the effective field theory of non-relativistic and relativistic fluids, including Galilean anomalies and their impact on hydrodynamic behavior. Jain also examines higher-form symmetries, topological defects, and dissipative hydrodynamics, with applications to charge density waves and holographic duals. His work bridges theoretical physics and fluid dynamics, offering new insights into the structure of hydrodynamic theories and their connections to string theory and high-energy phenomena.
