I am interested in a variety of different topics including cosmology, gravitational waves, black holes, and exotic crystals (including choreographic crystals and quasicrystals).
I am interested in attempts to find an underlying mathematical framework that better captures the unexplained patterns and features in the standard model of particle physics.
This past year, my collaborators and I proposed a new cosmological model, the "CPT symmetric universe," in which the universe before the bang is the CPT mirror image of the universe after the bang. We have presented some of the observational predictions of this model, and are currently busily working out others.
