Research Summary

Youssra Boujakhrout studies integrable structures in gauge theory and string theory, together with topological and higher-spin gravity. Her recent work on four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory shows how Lax operators, superspin chains, exceptional and ADE-type 't Hooft lines, and topological quivers arise from a common gauge-theoretic origin. Later work on higher-spin AdS3 gravity, Tits-Satake diagrams, topological 4d gravity, gravitational defects, and finite topological-gravity landscapes extends this perspective from integrable models to the classification of gravitational and topological sectors.
