Research Activities

My research is in string theory as a theory of fundamental interactions and quantum gravity, and in non-perturbative methods in field theory. Much of my recent work has focused on the "landscape of string theory vacua," both formal aspects (constructing vacua and finding the statistical distribution of their observable properties), and looking for predictions and ways to test the picture. I also work on supersymmetric gauge theory, D-branes, conformal field theory, computational methods, and questions in computer science related to physics.
