Area of Research:
Quantum Fields and Strings

Research Interests

My research focuses on string theory and modern particle physics as well as on applications of concepts
developed in physics to other fields. In particular, I am interested in high energy particle theory, strongly
coupled quantum field theories, black holes, and systems with boundaries and topological defects.
